Cleanliness Testing Designed for You

Due to increasing demand for the technical cleanliness of products and processes, it is vital that manufacturers can accurately measure the amount, type and source of contamination remaining on components following multi-stage cleaning. Particle Technology Ltd provides both laboratory services for Cleanliness Testing and supplies and installs Component Cleanliness Analyser Cabinets for use in customers’ own premises. The component cleanliness analyser is available to customers in the UK and also some locations in Europe – please contact us to confirm availability.

Process, Analysis & Standards

Flushing liquid (water– or solvent–based, depending on your requirements) is drawn through a membrane filter where the contamination is captured. The filter is weighed and then analysed with a Leica microscope using unique software to identify particles in different size classes, including the longest particles and fibres according to the applicable test standards applied. The microscope system can also categorise particles into reflective and non-reflective to give an indication of the ratio of metallic to non-metallic particles.

The ISO 16232 / VDA 19 standards specify the methods used for evaluating the cleanliness of component parts, from extraction and analysis through to the expression of results. Your results can then be used to identify sources of contamination and improve manufacturing processes to ensure the quality, efficiency and longevity of your products.
