Spectro Scientific – Benchtop Oil Analysis Instruments – LaserNet 200 Series – Automated Wear Debris Analyser

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
