This document is an instructional and reference atlas for techniques involving the quantitative and qualitative analysis of wear particles. A section is included on the visual identification of certain free metal wear particles representative of specific wear modes. This section includes seventy-eight color and black and white photographs of individual particles and particle distributions as the primary aid in identification. A futher section discusses the operational techiques of oil sampling and ferrography. The information contained in the atlas is used for the purpose of diagnosing machine operating conditions.
