FTM 3012 (FED-STD 791 Method 3012) Determination of Particulate Matter in Aerospace Hydraulic Fluids
Aerospace hydraulic systems are composed of precision valves, pumps, pistons and other components that are sensitive to fluid contamination. Particulate matter from fluid degradation, wear debris, atmospheric and other sources may cause these systems to operate poorly or fail. This test determines the size and number of particles in aerospace hydraulic fluids.
Using an automatic particle counter as per the method, the number of particles in five size categories is determined and reported: 5 µ to 15 µ, 16 µ to 25 µ, 26 µ to 50 µ, 51µ to 100 µ and over 100 µ.
