Cleanliness analysis as per ISO 4406&4407

ISO 4406 &4407 define the methods to determine the particulate contamination in hydraulic fluid power systems by optical microscope. In this report, a membrane filter sample was submitted for particulate contamination determination and identification according to ISO 4406&4407.

RESULTS

The whole area of the filter was scanned during the analysis. The sizes of different particles were measured and classified based on ISO 4406&4407.  Final results can be printed directly from Clemex Contaminants. Raw data can be exported in Excel format.
