PCM500 Series Fluid Cleanliness Monitor

The PCM500 Cleanliness Monitor is a portable diagnostic monitoring device that provides a measurement of system fluid cleanliness.

The PCM500 uses proven mesh blockage technology to report accurate, reliable, 3 part ISO cleanliness codes for most types of fluids, in all types of environment.

  • Monitors mineral, synthetic, or water based fluids
  • Results are unaffected by the presence of water, air, or if the fluid is dark
  • Get accurate, 3 partISO cleanliness code results in under 6 minutes and take preventative action quickly
  • Upload real-time results directly to mobile devices for analysis and action
  • '’Pass off’ cleanliness of new builds quickly and confidently

Protect your systems from catastrophic failure by detecting abnormal fluid cleanliness conditions quickly.

The PCM500 can be permanently installed to monitor critical applications (including component test facilities) or used as a portable device for routine condition monitoring of various fluid systems.

PCM500 Monitor Features

  • Proven mesh blockage technology provides accurate 3-part*  ISO 4406, AS 4059 Table 1 (NAS 1638) or AS 4059 Table 2 cleanliness codes
  • Measures fluid cleanliness, temperature, viscosity plus options for water content
  • Self cleaning procedure between each test ensures optimum accuracy of results
  • Compact, robust, fully self contained portable design (fluid sampling pump included)
  • Simple to use, colour touch screen interface
  • Long battery life for extended operation in remote locations
  • Supplied with a heavy-duty wheeled flight case for ease of transportation
* 3 part code measured at 4 μm, 6 μm and 14 μm per ISO 16338.

Operation

The colour LCD touch screen allows simple menu driven input of sample identification, monitor configuration and data output.

The HD screen displays real time data and test results which are automatically stored for subsequent trending and evaluation. An optional Bluetooth/USB controlled printer allows the operator to produce a hard copy of the test results if required.

All ancillary components for high and low pressure online sample monitoring are contained within the monitor, with sufficient internal power to complete 35 tests between charges. (Mains power can be used if preferred).

For further protection and ease of transport, thePCM500 is supplied in a robust flight case.
