The DWA Fluid microscopic particle counter kit is designed to produce contamination monitors from oil samples. These can be used to analyze samples taken from hydraulic and lubrication systems with regard to solid contamination. By comparing the microscopic evaluation with reference photographs, a rapid assessment of the fluid contamination (cleanliness class classification to ISO 4406, NAS 1638) can be made.
The package includes a microscope, sampling bottles, associated interconnecting hoses and the DWA particle counter chart.
Advantages:
- Simple fluid monitoring
- Confirmation of changes in oil cleanliness
- Support for condition-based maintenance
Applicable standards:
- ISO 4405 / 4406 / 4407
- Gravimetric methods for determining the amount of contamination in hydraulic fluids
