17 ISO 4406 / SAE AS 4059 / NAS1638 Classes
17.1 ISO 4406:1999
In ISO 4406:1999 particle counts are determined cumulatively, i.e. > 4 µm(c), >6 µm(c) and >14 µm
(c) (manually by filtering the fluid trough an automatically using particle counters) and allocated to
measurement references.
The goal of allocating particle counts to references is to facilitate the assessment of fluid cleanliness
ratings.
In 1999 the "old" ISO 4406:1987 was revised and the size ranges of the particle sizes undergoing
analysis redefined. The counting method and calibration were also changed.
This is important for the user in his everyday work: Even thought the measurement references of the
particles undergoing analysis have changed, the cleanliness code will change only in individual cases.
When drafting the "new" ISO 4406:1999 it was ensured that not all the existing cleanliness provisions
for systems had to be changed.

Note: increasing the measurement reference by 1 causes the particle count to double.
Example: ISO class 18 / 15 / 11 means that the following are found in 1 ml of an analyzed sample:
