When it comes to maintaining the purity and performance of lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and other industrial oils, particle counting is essential. Contaminants in oil can lead to equipment wear, system failures, and costly downtime. Choosing the right oil particle counter ensures accurate contamination analysis and helps extend machinery life.
Key Factors in Selecting the Best Oil Particle Counter
1. Measurement Standards & Compliance
Ensure the device complies with industry standards such as:
ISO 4406 (International Standard for particulate contamination)
NAS 1638 & SAE AS4059 (Aerospace & automotive standards)
ASTM D7647 (Standard practice for inline oil particle counting)
2. Particle Size Range & Sensitivity
Different applications require detection of varying particle sizes:
Hydraulic systems: 4µm, 6µm, 14µm
Turbines & gearboxes: 1µm to 100µm+
Aviation & critical machinery: Sub-micron detection (0.5µm or lower)
3. Counting Technology
Choose between:
Light Extinction (LE) – Most common, measures blocked light by particles.
Light Scattering (LS) – Better for smaller particles, higher sensitivity.
Microscopy & Image Analysis – For lab-based, high-precision counting.
4. Portability & Application
Portable handheld units for on-site testing.
Benchtop models for laboratory-grade accuracy.
Inline sensors for real-time oil condition monitoring.
5. Data Management & Connectivity
Modern particle counters offer:
Cloud-based reporting
Bluetooth/Wi-Fi data transfer
Compatibility with oil analysis software
