It supersedes
3、BS ISO 11171:2010 which is withdrawn.Attention is drawn to the fact that the UK committee voted against the approval of this International Standard.The UK committee has concerns that there are three options for presenting data which will give significant differences in particle counts when analysing
4、 the same fluid with automatic particle counters (APCs). The difference in particle counts is because the previous calibration suspensions, SRM 2806 and 2806a, where the calibrated size is labelled “m(c)”, are no longer available. The latest characterization of the particle sizes by electron microsc
5、ope has shown that there is an increase in size of the same particles. The result is that calibration using SRM 2806b results in higher particle counts compared to calibration using SRM 2806 or SRM 2806a, when testing the same fluid.Clause 6.8 of this standard describes the process for constructing
6、an additional calibration curve so that an APC calibrated using SRM 2806b can give results equivalent to the earlier standard that used SRM 2806 or SRM 2806a when option 7.1 b) is selected, but use of this is not required when reporting to options 7.1 a) and 7.1 c).Any standard using APCs calibrated
7、 to ISO 11171 will be affected by these changes e.g. ISO 4406. It is beyond the scope of this standard to state how to apply the results derived in clause 7.1 to generate ISO 4406 codes. At the time of publication, ISO 4406 has not been revised to account for these changes and the UK committee sugge
8、sts, therefore, that the ISO Code is followed by: “m” if option 7.1 a) is chosen; “m(c)” if option 7.1 b) is chosen, or “m(b)” if option 7.1 c) is chosen.The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted by Technical Committee MCE/18, Fluid power systems and components, to Subcommittee MCE/18/-/

The work of preparing In
18、ternational Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison
19、with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directiv
20、es, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted.

The fluid is both a lubricant and a power-transmitting medium. Reliable
26、 system performance requires control of the contaminants in the fluid. Qualitative and quantitative determination of the particulate contaminants in the fluid medium requires precision in obtaining the sample and in determining the contaminant particle size distribution and concentration. Liquid aut
27、omatic particle counters (APCs) are an accepted means of determining the concentration and size distribution of the contaminant particles. Individual APC accuracy is established through calibration.This International Standard establishes a recommended standard calibration procedure for determining p
28、article sizing and counting accuracy. The primary particle-sizing calibration is conducted using NIST SRM 2806 suspensions with particle size distribution certified by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). A secondary calibration method with traceability to NIST us
29、es suspensions of ISO MTD which are independently analysed using an APC calibrated by the primary method. Concentration limits are determined through the use of serial dilutions of a concentrated suspension. Operation and performance limits are also established using this International Standard. ISO
