Why measure oil cleanliness?

Oil is the lifeblood of machines — contamination by particles and water reduces component life and increases downtime. Regular oil cleanliness class measurement (ISO 4406 / NAS / SAE) lets you act before failures occur, saving repair cost and unplanned stoppages.

Key benefits

  • Prevent wear and avoid catastrophic failure
  • Extend oil & component life
  • Optimize filtration and maintenance schedules
  • Demonstrable reports for audits and compliance

Standards we measure

  • ISO 4406 — particles ≥4 µm, ≥6 µm, ≥14 µm (3-number code, e.g., 19/17/14)
  • NAS 1638 — aerospace/military class 00–12
  • SAE AS4059 — aerospace-adapted size bands

How we help

We provide portable and inline particle counters, aqua (water) sensors, offline filtration units, on-site sampling and analysis, and tailored maintenance recommendations. Reports include ISO/NAS codes, particle distribution, and remediation advice (filtration, dehydration, or oil change).

Typical deliverable: ISO-cleanliness report, particle-size distribution charts, recommended action plan and optional quotation for offline/online filtration or dehydration units.
