AT-LINE FILTER DEBRIS ANALYSIS FC290-1

FC290 Field deployable GO/NO-GO decision support. Quick, reliable and conclusive engine, gearbox, and hydraulic system health information at the flight line. Application FilterCHECK Model FC290 is an automated, field deployable Filter Debris Analysis system that quantifies the amount of wear metal contained in engine, gearbox and hydraulic system filters. FEATURES The FC290 provides accurate and timely detection of abnormal wear of mechanical components by analyzing the debris contained in a filter. The FilterCHECK is operated on-site by placing a filter in the system "wash chamber". Debris is removed from the filter using a combination of fluid and pressurized air. The wash fluid passes through a MetalSCAN sensor which quantifies the amount of ferrous and non-ferrous material. The fluid then runs through a "filter patch" where a representative sample of the debris is collected. The filter patch can be further analyzed in the Accommodates various filter configurations Quantifies both ferrous and non ferrous debris material Rugged design - qualified for ship borne use On-site verification of chip detector warnings BENEFITS Rapid, on-site assessment of equipment condition Early identification of component damage Go/no-go decision support Reduce equipment downtime Avoid unnecessary component removals laboratory to determine its metallurgical content via SEM/EDXRF instruments.
