Portable particle analysis for oils
OPC-3APortable Oil Particle Counter
Light-obscuration measurement for field and system oil samples
Oil cleanliness testing
in the field or online
OPC-3A measures oil particle size and count using light obscuration. Test samples from a bottle, or connect the instrument to hydraulic and lubrication systems for continuous cleanliness monitoring.
Four strengths for oil particle analysis
Simple workflow
Typical applications
Core capability
Available option
Add a water-activity sensor to measure oil water activity and temperature.
