A method and device for measuring the amount of magnetic particles in a fluid such as ferrous wear particles in the lubricant of a machine. The particles are entraped by contacting a volume of the fluid with a means to entrap the particles and magnetized by subjecting the entraped particles to a magnetic field. The amount of magnetic particles entraped is measured by measuring the magnetization of the entraped and magnetized particles.
