Particle Counting Prevents Contamination-Related Damage
Particle contamination of fluids is a huge problem in a variety of applications. Pharmaceutical products, pure water, and hydraulic and lubricating oil and fuels, for example, have strict cleanliness standards and contamination limits. In open systems, dirt from outside could contaminate a liquid. But even in closed systems, pollution of the fluids due to abrasion of seals and tubes is possible. Contamination with particles decreases the functionality of operating liquids, so these fluids sho...
