Cleanliness class - SAE AS 4059
Like ISO 4406, SAE AS 4059 describes particle concentrations in fluids. The
analysis methods can be applied in the same manner as ISO 4406:1999.
An additional feature in common with ISO 4406:1999 is that cleanliness
classes are grouped on the basis of cumulative number of particles (i.e. all
particles that are larger than a certain limit value are > 4 µm, for example).
As opposed to ISO, SAE AS 4059 uses different limit values among the
various particle sizes for contamination classes.
For this reason, the corresponding designation of the particle size being
examined in the SAE cleanliness classes always has to be added, e.g.:
AS 4059 Class 6B
->
9731 – 19500 particles >6 µm
AS 4059 Class 8A/7B/6C
->
3-value ISO code >4µm/>6µm/>14µm
If an SAE class is given acc. to AS 4059 without a letter, then it is always
particle size B (> 6 µm).
The following table shows the cleanliness classes in relation to the particle
concentration determined.
