AvCount Lube Particle Counter – SA1900-0

The AvCount Lube particle counter determines particle concentration in oils with a viscosity of up to 200 mm2/s. FFKM seals have been fitted to resist aggressive oils.

• Simple operation
• Ideal for handling lubricating and hydraulic oils
• 3-minute test time
• Programmable via PC

With a simple test procedure and user-friendly features, operator skill or expertise is kept to a minimum.

AvCount Lube can hold up to 3 test methods with custom methods created on a PC before being uploaded using the supplied ProTrend control and analysis software.

Test progress and results for up to 6 size bands are displayed as cumulative particles/ml and ISO 4406, NAS 1638, and AS4059 cleanliness codes.

Supplied with: sample probe, waste pipe, universal voltage power supplies, USB cable, calibration certificate, and USB memory stick containing handbooks and ProTrend software for test method programming and data download.

Methods: ASTM D7619, ASTM D7647, IP 565, GJB 420-1987/420-A-1996/420B-2006, IEC 60970, ISO 4406, ISO 11500, ISO 60970, JIS B 9932:2012, JIS B 9933:2021, JIS B 9934:2012

Integral Compressor
AvCount Lube comprises a light extinction automatic particle counter and a sample delivery unit. Designed to handle samples with a viscosity up to 200 mm2/s, the AvCount Lube has an integral compressor that pressurizes the sample chamber to 3 bar.

Calibration and verification:
AvCount Lite utilizes 16-point calibration. Calibration can be carried out either using NIST traceable standard solutions or by interfacing with a primary calibrated ‘Master’ AvCount Lite. Calibration can be carried out at a user site or at our authorized regional laboratories. Seta authorized training is required to perform a calibration. Verification can be performed using AvCount Verification Material.

ProTrend (SA1810-0) is supplied with the instrument and can report results to ISO 4406, NAS 1638, and SAE AS4059 (tables 1 and 2) cleanliness codes. Using the software, you can program other test methods and cleanliness codes with up to 16 size bands.
