Hydraulic Oil Testing: Best Practices & ISO Standards for Contamination Control
The ASTM D7596-14 (ASTM, 2018) was designed as a guide for the determination of particle concentration, particle size distribution, particle shape, and soot content for new and in service oils used for lubrication and hydraulic systems using a direct imaging integrated tester.
Revolutionizing Fluid Contamination Monitoring with Dynamic Image Analysis and ISO 21018-1
The ASTM D7596-14 (ASTM, 2018) was designed as a guide for the determination of particle concentration, particle size distribution, particle shape, and soot content for new and in service oils used for lubrication and hydraulic systems using a direct imaging integrated tester.
Water Quality Particulate Testing with a VIEW
Unlike traditional particle counting, which only provides information on particle size, dynamic image analysis provides detailed data on both particle size and shape. This allows for better identification of specific types of particles (e.g., fibrous, spherical, irregular), which can help in distinguishing between organic matter, sediment, or chemical precipitates.
Sodium Ion Battery Powders – Shape really matters…
Particle shape plays a critical role in the performance and manufacturing of sodium-based batteries, particularly when it comes to the powders used for electrodes. The shape of the particles impacts several key factors that influence the efficiency, safety, and durability of the battery.
Fuel and Lubrication ASTM D7596-14 Particle Test Method for Shape Classification of Oils
The ASTM D7596-14 (ASTM, 2018) was designed as a guide for the determination of particle concentration, particle size distribution, particle shape, and soot content for new and in service oils used for lubrication and hydraulic systems using a direct imaging integrated tester.
Particle Size and Shape of Petroleum Lost Circulation Material – #1
Lost Circulation Material (LCM) is an additive introduced to drilling fluid that can come in all different shapes and sizes. It is well understood that irregular particles have greater thickening and strength properties. As a result, analyzing size alone for selection of LCM materials would not be ideal. In this case, shape measurements such as Circularity and Smoothness as well as size, are key measurement parameters to monitor.

Shape Module
The Particle Insight Shape Module (PiSM) adds comprehensive particle shape analysis capability to laser diffraction and other size-only wet suspension technologies. Rather than determining only particle size information, the PiSM will report up to 30 different shape-related measures, including size, as well as images of each sample measured. The PiSM was developed to be an [...]
Data Reporting
Standard single-run report (printed, Excel file) A typical printed report contains histogram graphs, statistics summaries, system performance data, and sometimes distribution tables. Example of a printed report XLSX-format reports present an overall summary on the first page, followed by a separate page of data for each active measure. Large-format histogram plot (printed, 1/2 page per plot) The [...]
Sieve Simulation
Sieve Simulation separates size data into size classes that are defined in terms of sieve mesh openings. It can be used to predict the actual sieve analysis of a sample. Sieve simulation is available for four measures: Equivalent Circular Area, Bounding Rectangle Width, Fiber Width and Feret Width. Sieve data is computed only for these [...]
