Highlights
The LaserNet 200 Series allows reliability professionals to quickly and easily assess machinery health on site in just minutes. With a simple push of a button, a comprehensive picture of machine wear is generated with only a few parameters:
Particle cleanliness codes, such as ISO 4406 and ASTM D6786, indicate the overall cleanliness of the oil
Ferrous Wear Severity Index (FWSI) indicates overall severity of the machine wear condition
Count of large cutting, sliding and fatigue wear, along with non-metallic particles, indicates the source of the particles
Having this information allows reliability professionals to make informed decisions on the maintenance of their critical assets.
Key Features
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 for all particles from 4 μm to 100 μm
Highest saturation limit, up to 10,000,000 particles/ml with a coincidence error <2%
Viscosity range ISO15 to ISO320, undiluted
Images through dark fluids containing up to 2% soot with automatic laser gain control
Error corrections for water and air bubbles
Particle counts and codes per ISO 4406, NAS 1638, NAVAIR 01-1A-17, SAE AS 4059, GOST, ASTM D6786, HAL, and User defined bins.
Export data into LIMS software
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 particle analysis features
< 10 ppm for total ferrous concentration
Detects ferrous particles over 25 microns, equivalent circular diameter
20 second additional test time for Ferrous measurement
Reports large Ferrous concentration (PPM), percentage of large Ferrous particles (PLFP), Ferrous Wear Severity Index (FWSI)
Auto-Sampling Process for high throughput sample processing
LaserNet 200 series is equipped with an optional auto-sampling processer (ASP). It holds 24 samples in a carousel sample tray and automatically stirs sample bottles to homogenize particle distribution before each measurement. It automatically cleans and rinses the stir paddle and all the tubing after each measurement. It typically takes 2 to 3 hours to complete 24 samples. Actual run time varies by oil viscosity and cleanliness.
