An in-line full flow oil debris monitor has been developed for the F119-PW-100 advanced tactical fighter engine and is presently undergoing flight qualification testing. The ODM is based on an advanced inductive sensing technology which is capable of detecting both ferrous and non-ferrous wear metal particles under full flow conditions. The ODM is fully integrated into the design of the F119 engine. The mechanical elements of the system are incorporated into the design of the engine's oil supply pump and the signal processing circuitry is fully integrated into the engine's comprehensive engine diagnostic unit. Bearing failure progression testing conducted by GasTOPS and Pratt and Whitney has verified that the ODM is capable of detecting the initiation of bearing damage and monitoring the progression of this damage towards failure.
