Description
Also known as the ISO Cleanliness Code, this test determines how many particles are present in the oil and what their sizes are in microns. The machine shoots a laser beam through the oil to a light detector on the other side of the stream to determine the particle size and count.
This test cannot be run on used engine oil because oil tends to be dark, which disrupts the laser beam sensor. This test is ideal for fairly clean, light oils and is commonly used for measuring the cleanliness of oil in industrial applications. The machine cannot test oils that are excessively thick (viscosity higher than ISO 100 or SAE 30W) or dirty. Our machine is calibrated to the current ISO 11171 standards and the report includes the three number ISO Cleanliness code following the ISO 4406 reporting standard.
Minimum amount of oil required: 50 ml
