Large-Format Auto-Diluting Particle Counter

A large-format fully automated particle counter that meets the requirements of ASTM D7647-10. Oil samples are diluted with solvent prior to testing in order to eliminate interferences from “soft” particles such as water, varnish and suspended liquid additives.

What labs say about CINRG

With the CINRG Particle Counter we have counted more than 80,000 samples (approx. 5,000 samples/month). We — and our customers — have found very reliable results. The dilution works perfect. The counts have excellent repeatability.

Peter WeismannOelCheck GmbH

CINRG has a state-of-the-art particle counter that far exceeds expectations. Approximately seven hours of preparation time is saved due to its automation. A definite asset to any oil-analysis laboratory.

Frank PerriWearCheck Canada

With the CS-APC-2 we have been able to reduce the analysis and report times — in many cases to half — with this improved production capacity. This is why we have decided to accredit this test under ISO 17025.

Jose IgnacioTekniker, Spain

The CINRG robotic viscometer system has improved repeatability of viscosity results and freed up close to one full day of technician time. A definite win-win for our laboratory.

Frank PerriWearCheck Canada

After two months working with the CS-HVA-1 we think it is, by far, the biggest advance in automation we have in our labs. We are fully satisfied with its performance and results.

Jose IgnacioTekniker, Spain

The auto-dilution methodology has been a game-changer for processing heavily contaminated samples that previously could not run on an optical particle counter at all.
