Description
The Pall® PCM400 is specifically developed as a portable diagnostic monitoring device that provides an assessment of system fluid cleanliness.
Benefits
As part of continued component cleanliness 'pass off' checks or predictive maintenance programs the PCM400 monitor quickly reports test data so that ongoing assessments can be made.
Early detection of abnormal fluid cleanliness allows for timely investigation and corrective actions to be implemented.
The PCM400 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.
PCM400 Monitor Features
- Proven mesh blockage technology
- Results not affected by water or air
- Monitors dissolved water content (% saturation or PPM output for specific fluids (PCM400W only))
- High and low pressure on-line or off-line sampling
- Continuous monitoring
- 500 test memory
- ¼" BSP or test point hose connection
PC-based trending software included - Viscosity output in centistokes (cSt)
- Real time graphical representation
Operation
A detachable hand held touch screen programmer allows for simple menu driven input of sample identification, monitor configuration and data output in either ISO 4406, NAS 1638 or SAE AS 4059 formats.
The hand held programmers display shows real time data and test results which are automatically stored for subsequent trending and evaluation.
