Particle counter

Read our primer articles on Oil Analysis and Tribology

During particle count analysis using Laser net fines I did not get repetitive results from run to run. Preparing my sample by vigorous hand shaking then sonicate and wait for two minutes and run the sample. Again when I run the same sample after sometimes (5 minutes)got some different result. As for example first run:ISO: 18/16/13 and second run:ISO:17/15/12. So what should I need to do for getting repetitive results...

In my experience with the LNF that is a pretty repetitive result. Remember that for each code you might be sitting right on the cusp of the next ISO code.

Obviously the cleaner the sample the harder it to not switch, e.g. the difference between and 8 and a 9 is 2 particles.
