WK40003 New Guide for Research Report for Particle and Water counting in Lubricating and Turbine Oil . This report will present data measuring down to .7 microns to increase the measuring range beyond the 4 micron point of the current standards.

1. Scope

This increase in range will help to automatically detect solid particles from water allowing for the shape factor of each to be the determining factor of the measurement instead of adding a diluent or additive to remove water droplets. The increased resolution of the measurement down to .7 micron is needed to avoid plugging and damage for the new technologies being developed. This report is focused on Dynamic Fluid Imaging methods which have the advantage of 2 dimension imaging The current research reports only measure down to 4 micron. this will measure to .7 micron. This will eliminate the interference of water and measure the water size and concentration in one instrument
