Liquid and Oil Particle Counter

Liquid and Oil Particle Counter measures the size and quantity of solid particles suspended in fluids such as hydraulic oil, lubricating oil, transformer insulating oil, turbine oil, fuel, and other industrial liquids. These particles are a primary cause of wear, system failure, and reduced equipment life.

ToronOPC™ particle counters use a laser-based light-blocking method: as particles pass through a sensing zone, they interrupt a light beam, allowing the instrument to calculate particle size and concentration. The result is a clear, quantitative assessment of fluid cleanliness, enabling informed maintenance decisions, reduced downtime, and extended equipment service life.

ToronOPC™ is a comprehensive family of Liquid and Oil Particle Counter solutions engineered for accurate detection, classification, and monitoring of solid particle contamination in oils and industrial fluids. Covering portable, laboratory, online, and sensor-based configurations, the ToronOPC™ series supports both routine maintenance and advanced condition monitoring across critical industries.

Built on proven optical light-blocking (optical occlusion) technology, ToronOPC™ systems deliver reliable particle size distribution and cleanliness classification aligned with global standards such as ISO 4406, NAS 1638, and SAE AS4059. From handheld field inspections to continuous online monitoring, ToronOPC™ provides scalable contamination control solutions for modern reliability programs.
