nas 1683and iso4406[1]清洁度标准

Particle contamination in oil is specified from particle count. Two basic standards the ISO and NAS systems are com-monly used as contamination reference. The two cleanliness standards can not be directly compared or converted, as the basic principles within the two systems differ to much. This is explained in the next pages.However, the following tables gives some rough guidelines of common practice for setting targets of cleanliness levels in different systems. As seen both ISO 4406 and NAS 1638 are represented. These guidelines are minimum fluid cleanliness levels required for an acceptable lifetime of equipment andcomponents.Many factors influence lifetime and demands to fluid quality. High reliability systems enhance demands to quality, and high pressure systems and heavy bearing load increase de-mands.The last three columns of the tables indicate the range of the GreenOil filter system. Although the filters may be put intoservice in many application, parameters as fluid volume and viscosity should be taken into consideration before expecta-tions to contamination limits are set.

Two basic methods are used:Laser based particle count analysis equipment gives directly information on particle sizes (micron= u) and figures within specified size ranges.The other method utilize filtering an oil sample through an very fine mesh filter paper. The particles on the surface of the filter paper is then monitored in a microscope and com-pared to standard contamination pictures to indicate the de-gree of contamination.Contamination classesInstead of specifying particle counts contamination is sepa-rated into classes defined in two major systems ISO (International Standard Organisation) and NAS (National Air-space Standard). Each class defines a range of counts within an exponential scale.Unfortunately, the two systems are not identical and can not be converted in simple mathematics. However, some simple guidelines can be given. First of all let’s look at the two sys-tems.NAS1638The NAS system divides particles in 5 ranges. Furthermore, the NAS system specify different counts within each particle range to score a specific class.In practice oil samples will show up to gain almost same NAS class rating within the different particle ranges. The system is designed to match the most common found con-tamination which has really many small particles and fever big particles. The sidebar example shows a typical oil analy-sis with counts divided in the 5 classes. As seen the classes ranges from 3 to 6, however, the resulting NAS class is de-fined as the particle count with the highest (worse) score, and only this class is specified.The sidebar example will be classified as “NAS1638 class 6”.

First of all it consists of 2 or 3 figures. Each figure de-fine a class within a size range. A typical ISO 4406 oil test will be indicated as:17/15/12 Particles > 2 u Particles > 5 u Particles >15 uAs seen particles less than 2 u are omitted. The originalISO4406 operated with only two digits omitting counts below 5 u. This standard is still widely accepted, though it does not relieve the same information as the newer 3 digit ISO version. 15/12 Particles > 5 u Particles > 15 uThe cleanliness levels represent the particle counts as shown in the table.(Not to get stuck in mathematics: the class represents powers of the numeral 2. A cleanliness level 15 indicates counts be-tween 214 (16,383) and 215 (32,768) for a sample of 100 ml fluid).The sidebar example will be classified “ISO4406 17/15/12”NAS and ISOTo conclude: NAS and ISO can not be compared directly. As seen both NAS and ISO operates exponentially. In both systems, the particle counts must be halved to reduce the class or cleanliness level one digit.In practice the great advantage of the NAS system is that con-tamination is identified by only one class number. For identi-fying contamination sources this could be a limitation which does not apply as much for the ISO system which is more open yet complicated.The NAS and ISO 2-digit systems does not take particles less than 5 u into consideration. The ISO 3-digit system monitors down to 2 u particles.The ISO system has the same class definition throughout the particle ranges. The NAS system has different definition of class within each particle range.Page 3T echnical Paper 004Class NumberMore Than Up to and Including24 8,000,000 1,600,000 23 4,000,000 8,000,000 22 2,000,000 4,000,000 21 1,000,000 2,000,000 20 500,000 1,000,000 19 250,000 500,000 18 130,000 250,000 17 64,000 130,000 16 32,000 64,000 15 16,000 32,000 14 8,000 16,000 13 4,000 8,000 12 2,000 4,000 11 1,000 2,000 10 500 1,000 9 250 500 8 130 250 7 64 130 6 32 64 5 16 32 4 8 16 3 4 8 2 2 4 1 1 2 0 0.51000.250.5Number of particles per 100 ml ISO 4406ISO analysis example: 17/15/12 Particle rangeCounts Class <2 u 96,050 17 5-15 u 23,263 1515-25 u 3,150 25-50 u 256 50-100 u 16 >100 u312。
