MP Filtri LPA2 Particle Counter

A unique high accuracy, fully portable product. For users of hydraulic, lubrication and transmission systems. The LPA2 is a highly accurate, portable laser particle analyser that counts and sizes particles of solid contaminants in fluid power systems, o
The experience of designers and users of hydraulic and lubrication systems is that 75% of system failures are as a direct result of contamination. Knowing the cleanliness level of the fluid is the basis for contamination control.
The LPA2 gives accuracte results of the amounts and sizes of contaminants - on the spot. LPA2 is calibrated with ISO Medium Test Dust (MTD) based on ISO 11171:1999 calibration standard. The new MTD has a certified distribution standard verified by NIST (National Institute of Standard and Technology), USA. The LPA2 is designed to meet the new ISO 4406 cleanliness classification code which is a 3-par code, 4µm(c), 6µm(c) and 14µm(c). The LPA2 also provides results in the NAS 1638 code.
