Hydraulics & Pneumatics September 2022

HYDRAULICS MP Filtri has just launched its new Patch Imaging Kit for customers. Designed as the perfect complement to MP Filtri’s portable and inline particle counters which offer a highly accurate, real- time inspection of contaminants in fluids, the new Patch Imaging Kit includes a digital microscope that enables operators to assess these particles under a microscope and identify potential sources of contamination. The kit enables fast and accurate fluid sample tests, and by capturing the contaminants on a patch, allows detailed analysis to be carried through the digital microscope included in the package – measuring, recording and assessing individual particles. By analysing their make-up and composition, it is possible to isolate the cause of wear and tear within a system – with rubber particles suggesting hose decomposition, while metal elements reveal wear and tear on pumps or components. By flagging up specific causes of decomposition, maintenance teams can replace worn components, protecting complex 20 HYDRAULICS & PNEUMATICS September 2022 www.hpmag.co.uk systems, extending service lifespans and reducing both maintenance costs and downtime.
