Portable Fluid Analysis Kit

Particle Count Range can bedetermined in as little as 10 minutes.

For complete Operating Instructions,see page 18 (operating manual).

Using the Patch Test Method, a user can reliably assign athree-digit cleanliness code to any given sample based onphotomicrograph comparisons of known samples. Theseknown samples are the results ofparticle counts achieved bystandards as set forth in

ISO 4406-1999.

The kit effectivelymonitors particulatecontamination in allhydrocarbon-basedhydraulic fluids,bulk chemicals, andlubrication fluids.

The Donaldson - Portable Fluid Analysis Kit was developed to enable a person to conductimmediate on-site oil analysis in as little as 10 minutes.

ISOCodes

The ISO Cleanliness Code references the number ofparticles greater than 4, 6, & 14 microns in one milliliterof fluid. The results of particle counting are plotted onthe adjacent logarithmic graph. The corresponding ISORange Code, shown above, gives the cleanliness codenumber for each of the three particle sizes.

This booklet is designed to be a quick and easy reference guide to be used along with our Portable

Fluid Analysis Kit. Using the Patch Test Method, a user can reliably assign a three-digit cleanliness

code to any given sample based on photomicrograph comparisons of known samples. These known

samples are the results of particle counts achieved by standards as set forth in ISO 4406-1999.

Manu

Assemble the pump and funnel assembly and screw on emptysample bottle.

Place solvent dispensing bottle filter on spout of solvent dispensingbottle.

Wash funnel with solvent and pull solvent through assembly withhand-operated vacuum pump.

Place a patch membrane in the funnel assembly.

Pour the fluid sample into the funnel and fill to the 25 ml level.

Pull sample through patch membrane with hand-operated vacuumpump.

Wash funnel with solvent and pull through patch membrane withhand-operated vacuum pump.

When sample passes completely through patch membrane, removemembrane with forceps, place on clean index card and immediatelycover with adhesive analysis lamination cover.

View patch membrane through microscope and compare sightscreen from 100x microscope to various pictures shown in thisComparison Guide to assign the appropriate ISO cleanliness code.
