Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on the LPA2 and PML2 Series 30 laser particle counters, which are essential for monitoring fluid cleanliness in hydraulic and lubrication systems to prevent contamination-related failures.
Key Features:
  • Twin Laser System: Ensures high accuracy and repeatability in measuring particle contamination.
  • Compatibility: Suitable for mineral oil and phosphate ester applications, with optional water saturation and temperature sensors.
  • Portability: Designed to be lightweight and robust for field use.
  • Data Management: Equipped with Windows® based software for trend analysis and data export.
  • Testing Options: Supports online, inline, and bottle sampling with various test durations and conditions.
Specifications:
  • Calibration: Calibrated with ISO Medium Test Dust (MTD) according to ISO 11171:1999 standards.
  • Measurement Range: Detects particle sizes from 4µm to 68µm, with results in ISO 4406, NAS 1638, and SAE 4059 codes.
  • Operating Conditions: Operates under pressures up to 400 bar and temperatures from +5 to +80°C.
  • Power Supply: Uses an internal rechargeable battery or external 12/24 volt DC power supply.
Additional Features:
  • Moisture Sensor: Optional module for measuring relative humidity and fluid temperature.
  • Environmental Protection: Features a sealed case for dust and moisture protection.
  • Remote Operation: Enabled via RS 485 interface.
  • Sampling Kits: Includes standard and bottle sampling kits with necessary accessories.
Applications: Designed for continuous monitoring in hydraulic systems to ensure optimal performance and prevent contamination-related failures.
Specifications:
The PML2 sample volume is 15 ml, with a maximum system working pressure of 400 bar and a minimum pressure of 2 bar for Series 30 and 10 bar for Series 31. It supports a viscosity range up to 400 centistokes and operates between +5 to +80°C. Compatible with mineral oil, petroleum-based fluids, and Skydrol®. Typical test time is 2 minutes, requiring a 12/24 volt DC power supply. Data storage capacity is 600 tests, with an RS 232 communication port as standard. Hose connections include a microbore pressure hose with minimess fittings, available in various lengths, and quick coupling waste hoses. Dimensions are 120 mm in height, 275 mm in length, 250 mm in width, and it weighs 4.8 kilos.
Optional Features:
An optional moisture sensor measures relative humidity with an accuracy of ±3% and fluid temperature with an accuracy of ±3°C. An in-line coarse screen filter with a 500-micron stainless steel cleanable mesh and 400 bar filter pressure is also available.
Ordering Information:
Products can be ordered with various display module options, including remote modules and PC-driven options. The PML2 Analyser includes an accessories package with hoses. PC-driven units use MP FILTRI proprietary software (LPA View), and a power supply is included with the “D” options. MODBUS versions come with a user manual for customer software programs, with standard protocol settings available.
Water Content and Saturation Levels:
Water content in mineral oils and non-aqueous fire-resistant fluids should be kept below 50% saturation to avoid damage. Mineral oil can support a water content of 50-300 ppm without adverse effects, but above 500 ppm, the oil appears hazy, risking free water accumulation.
Applications and Testimonials:
The LPA2 and PML2 are used across various industries for service, quality control, condition monitoring, maintenance operations, military applications, and production development. Typical applications include steel mills, paper mills, injection molding, automotive, wind power, test benches, lubrication, roll-off cleanliness, and power packs. The PML2 is used for system contamination monitoring in military applications, with a Modbus protocol enabling communication with a PLC.
Contact Information:
MP FILTRI has offices in Italy, Great Britain, Germany, Canada, Russia, China, USA, and France, with contact details provided for each location.
