The PAMAS SBSS Liquid Particle Counting System’s accuracy, reliability and repeatability of results mean it is fast becoming the standard reference quality laboratory bottle sampler. It can be calibrated fully in accordance with the ISO 11171 calibration standard, due in part to its use of volumetric cell sampling and its finely tuned flow controls. It delivers results according to SAE AS4059E, NAS 1638, ISO 4406, CHARN, as well as having the ability to display results according to customised test parameters.
The menu-driven navigation system on the SBSS is very straightforward, enabling swift training for new users. Various parameters may be pre-set for different types of fluid, so that the counter’s pump/compressor unit can supply pressure and vacuum in order to degas and suppress bubbles in aerated fluids. Once test parameters are set, it really is a case of pressing the button and receiving the results a few minutes later. The SBSS can be used as a standalone instrument or in conjunction with PAMAS’s PMA software, for full control through a PC or laptop.
Software:
PAMAS PMA (Particle Measuring and Analysis) Software: For the operation of particle counters and for the analysis of measurement results. The measuring report includes all sample parameters and the numerical and graphical presentation of the measuring results. The report is compliant with the cleanliness standards ISO 4406, SAE AS 4059, NAS 1638, GOST 17216, GJB 420 and NAVAIR 01-1A-17.
The results are automatically stored and may be exported to Microsoft Excel for further evaluation.
PAMAS USP Pharmaceutical Procedural Software: 21 CFR part 11 compliant software. Used for the data analysis of parenterals, infusion solutions, ophtalmic & oral fluids according to pharmaceutical standards like USP, EP, BP and JP. The measuring report includes all sample parameters and the numerical and graphical presentation as well as the assessment of the measuring results according to the selected pharmaceutical standard.
Specifications:
The SBSS liquid particle counting system can be used to test both mineral oil-based and water-based fluids, although a strict flushing procedure must be followed in order to eliminate the chance of cross-contamination.
Typical fluid applications include:
 |
Hydraulic oils |
|
Insulation, turbine, gear and motor oils |
|
Organic fluids, solvents and other water-based fluids |
|
Water-based hydraulic fluids |
|
Fluids with high vapour pressure |
|
Fuel |
|
Oils |
Specialist applications (please contact us – particular materials may be required for various components within the flow path of your SBSS) can also include:
|
Corrosive fluids such as Skydrol and Scale Inhibiting Chemicals |
|
Polymersolutions |
|
Glues |
|
Waste Fluids |
|
Standard SBSS has up to 16 freely adjustable particle size channels (extra module allows up to 32 channels) meaning a wide range of different particle sizes can be tested. |
|
Reports according to all commonly used standards in the industry, including ISO 4406:1999, SAE AS 4059E, ISO 4406:1987, NAS 1638 and CHARN, as well as USP for pharmaceutical applications. In addition, customised standards can be created very easily, according to your needs. |
|
Volumetric cell design of PAMAS sensors guarantees highest accuracy and resolution: 1μm sensitivity according to ISO 4402, 1.5μm(c) sensitivity according to ISO 11171, 0.5μm sensitivity according to ANSI/NFPA/ISO. |
|
Analysis volume: 1 ml up to 1,000 ml Wide range of analysis volume allows for a wide variety of testing procedures. |
|
Pneumatic sampling with pressure up to 5 bar (or as an option up to 10 bar) mean that liquids with a high cSt rating/viscosity can be tested. |
|
When using PMA software, particle number and size measurement data sets are automatically stored in readable format. PMA software is able to include the dilution of liquids. When used with PMA software, information is available for ease of use in a common sense, graphic display. |
|
Power supply via alternating current: 100 V, 115 V, 220 V, 230 V, 50–60Hz. |
|
The SBSS is available with PeliCase containers enabling greater logistic flexibility. |
