FWTest™ Kit

Method derived from the ASTM D8120 standard

The GESERCO FWTest™ kit is a high-precision portable instrument designed to measure the concentration of ferromagnetic particles in lubricants and hydraulic fluids (oils and greases).

Designed for marine and industrial applications, it enables fast and reliable monitoring of equipment condition, facilitating preventive maintenance and lubrication optimization.

• Fast and accurate measurement of ferromagnetic wear: result displayed in less than 2 seconds
• Built-in trend monitoring for comparative analysis
• Electromagnetic induction technology
• Simple operation via 5-inch high-resolution touchscreen
• Built-in rechargeable battery: up to 5 hours of autonomy
• Data storage and export via USB
• Reliable and repeatable on-site analysis

Ideal for marine engine condition monitoring

Thanks to its sensitivity in the ppm range, the GESERCO FWTest™ Kit allows early detection of wear particles in marine engine cylinder lubricating oils. It can be used to optimize engine oil feed rates, significantly reducing oil consumption while ensuring that no catastrophic damage occurs due to insufficient lubrication.

Used in combination with GESERCO's IT9002 kit for total iron measurement, the FWTest™ kit provides complete monitoring of marine engine condition and prevention of issues related to cold corrosion as well as abrasive wear of cylinders and liners.

A key tool for predictive maintenance of lubricated systems

Monitoring the concentration of ferromagnetic debris in industrial oils, hydraulic fluids, turbine oils, and greases is a key indicator in condition-based equipment maintenance. These metallic particles, resulting from mechanical wear of steel components (gears, bearings, shafts, etc.), directly indicate abnormal friction, micro-seizing, or the early stages of tribological failure.
Detecting these particles with the GESERCO FWTest™ Kit allows for the anticipation of internal damage long before it becomes critical, highlighting adhesive, abrasive, or surface fatigue wear processes. Its very high sensitivity, capable of detecting just a few ppm, helps secure equipment operation, optimize maintenance cycles, and prevent unplanned downtime with high reliability.

Intuitive use for immediate results

With its high-resolution touchscreen and multilingual interface, the GESERCO FWTest™ Kit is designed to be used by all personnel, including non-specialists. Results are displayed instantly in ppm, along with a trend graphic that clearly tracks wear evolution.

Saving, exporting, or printing data is done in a single operation, making the device perfectly suited for daily use on board or in the workshop. This ease of use enhances decision-making responsiveness, a key asset in predictive maintenance.
