9 Too much, and sludge can form, leading to excessive wear in engine OF DISPERSANCYM easures the ability of the lubricant in a diesel engine to carry combustion contaminants in suspension. Too low, and deposits can accumulate in the bottom of the crankcase leading to problems with filters and/or purification PARTICLE INDEXWear Particle Index (WPI) helps us to tell you more about your machine, regardless of type. From super clean hyrdrualic power systems to the hardest working diesel engines, WPI can make the difference between timely shut down or costly is derived from a test that measures the amount of paramagnetic material in a most common paramagnetic material found in oil samples from marine machinery is iron, therefore WPI correlates very closely to the metallic iron content in a sample regardless of particle the WPI increases at a rate greater than normal compared to Fe by ICP spectroscopy.

10 This indicates increasing quantities of iron particles with sizes greater than three microns. This should be taken as a warning that abnormal wear may be occuring in the the WPI increases at a rate less than normal compared to iron by spectroscopy, this indicates the presence of non-metallic iron.
