| Particle Counter |
Equipment Description
The
particle counter provides a solvent-free method of determining the particulate
cleanliness level of various fluids. Solvent use would be limited to maintenance
or flushing unit between sampling of incompatible or immiscible fluid samples.
This particulate contamination monitoring system supports the Navy Oil Analysis
Program (NOAP) present requirements for ship fluid samples, as well as the
Aircraft Hydraulic Contamination Control Program requirements for fluid
samples from aircraft and support equipment (SE). The unit has an optional
ultrasonic water bath to reduce sample prep time. The unit measures particulate
contamination by white light obscuration and does not require solvent dilution
to process fluid samples. The system is compatible with the 4-oz. bottles
currently supplied for patch test kits. The system includes all accessories
necessary to analyze fluids in sample bottles, print results and operate
at Navy/Marine shipboard and land based Intermediate Maintenance Activities
(IMA), NOAP labs and training centers and Navy Aviation Depots (NADEPs).
Benefits of Use
Eliminates the need for solvent (P-D-680) dilution of hydraulic fluids.
Reduces
the amount of waste fluid. Reuse specimen fluid by adding to similar fluids
for reconditioning using hydraulic purifiers. Achieves objective particle
counts. Reduces process time to obtain measurements. Provides records
of data measurements. Provides user-defined output data format.
