In  the grease of stressed joints you will find iron particles caused by abrasion. The amount of iron in the oil is a good indicator for the greasing quality. It tells you if the oil need to be changed. Just take an oil sample with a disposable syringe and insert into the cuvette. The SDM 73 gives you a direct reading of the iron concentration. The iron content is displayed in ppm. Starting with a certain concentration an oil change is recommended.

If grease is really stressed, iron abrasion may take place. The more iron is present, in the grease medium, the more intense abrasion will be. This instrument helps you to decide when the rease must be changed. Just take a sample with the little spatula and insert it into the instrument. You will have an immediate reading of the iron content in ppm.
