Advanced instruments for On-Line and Off-line wear debris monitoring

MIDAS 'Dry' Ferrous Debris Monitor

  • MIDAS Dry is a very sensitive and easy to use instrument for determining the amount of ferrous wear debris in an oil or hydraulic fluid sample.
  • Displayed debris readings are very stable and repeatable.
  • Quick and easy to use, low training overhead.
  • sample holder.
  • MIDAS resolves Fe levels down to 10 micrograms, and gives an instantaneous display reading.
  • A calibration check sample holder is supplied with the unit.
  • Low power 12V dc power supply makes field or vehicle operation possible.
  • Differences of MIDAS readings compared with spectrometric readings can provide additional insights into system condition.
  • Low MIDAS readings help to extend oil change intervals and save money on new oil, filters, disposal costs; environmentally beneficial.

    This variant of MIDAS technology provides a consistent reading of ferrous debris collected on a filter membrane or derived from a magnetic plug taken from the system being monitored. Positioning of the debris is non-critical and readings are independent of operator.

    The instrument was developed in response to UK MoD / RAF requirements for an improved debris trending capability. It has been extensively evaluated by DERA and the RAF with a high degree of success. In particular use of MIDAS was found to reduce inconsistencies in results made by different operators with pre-existing equipment. More recently it has recieved interest for overseas Air Force service.

    MIDAS Dry combines sensitive, consistent and repeatable debris measurement in a rugged unit which is easy to operate.
