PARTICLE
Particle count and elemental analysis – ASTM D8127 › WEAR › CONTAMINATION

Particle counts are generated using our patented FPQ

pore blockage particle counter (ISO 21018-3). It captures
the particles of interest for severe wear detection onto a
unique filtergram. This debris may now be measured on
the companion XRF spectrometer for immediate results
in ppm for up to 16 elements.
Wear and contamination particles larger than 4 microns
deposit on the filtergram, and are tested using an X-Ray
Florescence (XRF) spectrometer. The concentration
(in ppm) for up to sixteen different elements is reported.
The filtergram coupon can be stored for future analysis,
such as microscopic wear debris analysis of particle
colors and shapes. Oil Insertion Particles Filtergram

Fluid chemistry and contamination – ASTM D7889 › CHEMISTRY › WATER

The IR spectrometer measures the chemistry of the lubricant and contamination in one minute using
only one drop of oil; no chemicals or solvents are required. It combines ease of use, ruggedness and
laboratory precision in a small package, which is ideal for field use.
The oil condition parameters measured by FluidScan include oxidation, nitration, sulfation, anti-wear
additive, Total Base Number (TBN), glycol, soot, and water for engine oil; and oxidation, Total Acid Number
(TAN), and water for rotating machine lubricants such as gear oil, transmission oil and hydraulic oil.

Viscosity – ASTM D8092 › VISCOSITY

Viscosity is measured using a temperature-controlled

kinematic viscometer with a patented split-cell design.
A funnel, with a 100 micron gap, is formed in the center
of the cell. Optical sensors in the cell detect the flow of
oil under the influence of gravity. The time it takes the
oil to flow through the cell is proportional to the viscosity
of the oil. When open, the cells can be cleaned using a Kinematic Viscosity (40°C) = A* (t1-t0) + B
non-abrasive wipe. No solvents are required. *A and B are calibration coefficients
