Cleanliness class - NAS 1638
Like ISO 4406, NAS 1638 describes particle concentrations in fluids. The
analysis methods can be applied in the same manner as ISO 4406:1987.
In contrast to ISO 4406, certain particle ranges are counted in NAS 1638 and
attributed to key figures.
The following table shows the cleanliness classes in relation to the particle
concentration determined.
Maximum particle count / 100 ml
class
00 625 125 22 4 1 0
4 20,000 4,000 712 128 22 4
9 640,000 128,000 22,800 4,050 720 128
14 20,480,000 4,096,000 729,000 129,600 23,040 4,096
Increasing the class by 1 causes the particle count to double on average.
