Particle Count

Particle Count Testing

Measures the size and quantity of particles in a lubricant.

Operating Principle

Fluid Flow Decay Principle - Oil is passed through a screen of known mesh size (10 microns) and the time taken to plug the screen is determined. The instrument then calculates the distribution in the other predetermined size ranges by extrapolation.

Significance

Pore blockage particle counters are based on the fluid flow decay principle. The data is not effected by air bubbles or water.

Applications

Use whenever equipment manufacturer provides recommended lubricant cleanliness levels. Turbines, Boiler Feed Pumps, EHC Systems, Hydraulics, Servo Valves. Any system where oil cleanliness is directly related to longer lubricant life, decreased equipment wear or improved equipment performance.
