Oil Particle Counter
Oil Particle Counter - ToronOPC™ 100
ToronOPC™100 uses the light-blocking method to measure the size and quantity of solid particles in various liquids. It helps determine contamination levels in hydraulic oil, lubricating oil, shale oil, transformer (insulating) oil, turbine oil, gear oil, engine oil, aviation kerosene, water-based hydraulic fluids, and other similar liquids. It also analyzes insoluble particles found in organic liquids and polymer solutions.
Application Areas:
Military Industry
Used to monitor contamination levels in hydraulic fluids, lubricants, and fuel systems for military vehicles and equipment, helping ensure operational reliability, reduce wear, and support preventive maintenance in critical defense applications.
Aerospace Industry
Supports cleanliness control of aviation hydraulic oils, turbine lubricants, and fuel systems, enabling early detection of particulate contamination that could impact flight safety, component lifespan, and regulatory compliance.
Electricity Industry
Applied in the analysis of transformer insulating oils and turbine lubricants to assess fluid condition, detect wear debris, and maintain stable performance of power generation and transmission equipment.
Transportation Industry
Used for condition monitoring of lubricants and hydraulic fluids in rail, marine, and heavy-duty vehicle systems, helping operators identify contamination issues early and extend equipment service intervals.
