An important part of any machine conditioning program is particle counting. There are a number of existing tools to monitor and track the quantity and severity of the contamination, whether it is a ...

The following article talks about a new machine condition measurement system which integrates particle count data and elemental analysis information in two closely interlinked measurement phases. This ...

An update to USP<1788> Methods for Determination of Subvisible Particulate Matter was released in May 2021. Its goal is to assist in the support and clarification of the information provided in ...

In reliability engineering, few indicators are as consistently revealing as the particles that infiltrate a lubrication system. Long before vibration, temperature, or performance changes become ...

The LiQuilaz ® II optical liquid particle counter from Particle Measuring Systems is a volumetric monitor that has been specifically developed with a range of sizing sensitivities as low as 0.2 µm. It ...

Effective contaminant monitoring in hydraulic fluids is essential for system performance and longevity. Traditional methods like light obscuration (ISO 11171) measure particle size but lack shape ...

The Coulter Principle is the reference method for studying particle size and dynamics, which is based on measurable variations in electrical impedance that is produced by non-conductive particles in ...

This article evaluates bulk analysis and scratch analysis methods for particle dispersion, highlighting the superiority of ...
