CLEANER OIL BRIGHTER FUTURE
PATENTED PARTICULATE REMOVAL SYSTEM PRODUCING THE WORLDS CLEANEST OIL IN A SINGLE PASS
Explanations & Examples
ISO Codes Explained
ISO 4406:1999 The international stands for oil establishes the relationship between particle counts and cleanliness in hydraulic fluids. (This has been extended to other lubricants as well). It is a myth thinking that new oil is clean oil.ISO 4406:1999 is a standard code system to quantify the contaminant particle levels measured in Micrometers (µm) The table below illustrates the relationship between ISO code and the number of particles per 1ml of fluid. (You may also find the ISO standard calls the code “scale numbers or range numbers” they could also be represented as R4/R6R14.)The ISO standard allows you to determine the current particulate cleanliness of your fluids allowing for targets to be set for the cleanup. ISO 4404:1999 provides a 3 part code to represent the total number of particulates in 1ml of fluid greater than 4 µm,6 µm and 14 µm respectively. Notice that in each step is a double or half the particle count is relative to an adjacent code. For example, Referring to the table below an ISO code of 14/12/9 would be explained as: 14 (80-160 particulates greater than or equal to 4 µm) 12 (20-40 particulates greater than or equal to 6 µm) 9 (2.5-5 particles greater than or equal to 9 µm)
How big particles are we dealing with? 1 µm equals 0.001mm. the diameter of a human hair ranges from 40-150 µm particle’s with a size of 1 µm in size would be suspended in the air.

These cleaned oil particulate counts were obtained after just a SINGLE PASS and shows that the oil was cleaned to a higher and better cleanliness required by high precision servo systems and components, which have a recommended target cleanliness of ISO 14:12:9. The TR 02bc cleaning the oil to ISO 13:12:8 in just the single pass, thereby reducing 1000 particles to better than 32. Below is a table that shows the particulates in 10 litres of new oil and the same oil after being passed through our particulate removal device, as an example of its effectiveness.
