Key Features

Complies with ASTM D7596 - Standard Test Method for Automatic Particle Counting and Particle Shape Classification of Oils Using a Direct Imaging Integrated Tester

Particle count features

Particle count, size distribution and codes (ISO 4406, NAS 1638, NAVAIR 01-1A-17, SAE AS 4059, GOST, ASTM D6786, HAL, and User defined bins.)
Particle Count for all particles from 4 μm to 100 μm
Highest saturation limit, up to 10,000,000 particles/ml with a coincidence error <2%
Designed for mineral oils, synthetic oils, hydraulic fluids, turbine and distillate fuels
Viscosity range ISO15 to ISO320, undiluted
Images through dark fluids containing up to 1% soot content with automatic laser gain control
Greater than 20 microns error corrections for water and air bubbles

Automatic shape classification features

Automatically classify particles larger than 20 micron (maximum diameter)
7 classes – cutting wear, sliding wear, fatigue wear, non-metallic, water droplets, air bubbles, fiber. User can reclassify particles manually
Numerical count of each classes can be used for trending analysis

Ferrous content and particle analysis features

Total ferrous concentration per ASTM D8120
Reports large Ferrous concentration (PPM), percentage of large Ferrous particles (PLFP), Ferrous Wear Severity Index (FWSI)
20 second additional test time for Ferrous measurement
Ferrous measurement performed in concert with particle count and automated shape classification (<4 microns per sample)
Detects ferrous particles over 25 microns, equivalent circular diameter

Optional Auto-Samper for high throughput sample processing

All LaserNet 200 series systems are designed to work with an optional auto-sampling processor (ASP).

It holds 24 samples in a carousel sample tray
Automatically stirs sample bottles to homogenize particle distribution before each measurement
Automatically cleans and rinses between measurements to eliminate cross contamination
Unattended operation up to 250 samples per day during typical lab operations. Throughput varies by oil viscosity and cleanliness target expectation
