Determination of Particle Contamination Level of a Liquid Sample by Automatic Particle Counting Using ISO 11500 Hydraulic Fluid Power, Light Fading Principle

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ISO 11500 standard. ISO 11500 specifies an automated particle counting procedure for determining the number and size of particles present in hydraulic fluid bottle samples of clear, homogeneous, single-phase fluids using an automatic particle counter (APC) operating on dimming.

Determination of Particle Contamination Level of a Liquid Sample by Automatic Particle Counting Using ISO 11500 Hydraulic Fluid Power, Light Fading Principle

ISO 11500 is applicable to monitoring the cleanliness level of fluids circulating in hydraulic systems, the progress of a flushing operation, the cleanliness level of support equipment and test equipment, and the cleanliness level of packaged stock.

The presence of solid contaminant particles in the fluid interferes with the lubricating ability of the hydraulic fluid and causes component wear. The extent of contamination in the fluid has a direct impact on the performance and reliability of the system and solid contaminant particles need to be controlled at levels considered appropriate for the system concerned.

Quantitative determination of particulate contamination requires precision in sampling and determining the extent of contamination. The liquid automatic particle counter (APC), operating on the principle of dimming, has become an accepted tool for determining the extent of contamination. The accuracy of particle count data may be affected by the techniques used to obtain such data.
