    Appendix Overview - ISO 4406 / SAE AS 4059 and NAS 1638 classes ISO 4406:1999 In ISO 4406:1999, particle counts are determined cumulatively, i.e. > 4 µm >6 µm and >14 µm (manually by filtering the fluid through an analysis membrane or automatically using particle counters) and allocated to measurement references.

  • Page 99: Overview Of The Differences Between Iso 4406:1987 And Iso 4406:1999

    Appendix Note: increasing the measurement reference by 1 causes the particle count to double. Example: ISO code 18 / 15 / 11 means: Cleanliness class Particle count / 100 ml Size ranges 130,000 – 250,000 > 4 µm (c) 16,000 – 32,000 >...

    Appendix SAE AS 4059 Like ISO 4406, SAE AS 4059 describes particle concentrations in liquids. The analysis methods can be applied in the same manner as ISO 4406:1999. The SAE cleanliness classes are based on particle size, number and distribution. The particle size determined depends on the measurement process and calibration;...

Cleanliness class to AS 4059:6B Size B particles may not exceed the maximum number indicated for code 6 6 B = max.

  • Page 102: Nas 1638

    Appendix NAS 1638 Like ISO 4406, NAS 1638 describes particle concentrations in liquids. The analysis methods can be applied in the same manner as ISO 4406:1999. In contrast to ISO 4406, certain particle ranges are counted in NAS 1638 and attributed to measurement references.
