Working with ISO4406 and NAS 1638
Particle contamination in oil is specified from particle count.
Two basic standards the ISO and NAS systems are com-monly used as contamination reference. The two cleanliness
standards can not be directly compared or converted, as the
basic principles within the two systems differ to much. This
is explained in the next pages.
Many factors influence lifetime and demands to fluid quality.
High reliability systems enhance demands to quality, and
high pressure systems and heavy bearing load increase de-mands.

Introduction
Contamination in oil is specified from particle count. Two
basic methods are used:
Laser based particle count analysis equipment gives directly
information on particle sizes (micron= u) and figures within
specified size ranges.
The other method utilize filtering an oil sample through an
very fine mesh filter paper. The particles on the surface of
the filter paper is then monitored in a microscope and com-pared to standard contamination pictures to indicate the de-gree of contamination.

Contamination classes
Instead of specifying particle counts contamination is sepa-rated into classes defined in two major systems ISO
(International Standard Organisation) and NAS (National Air-space Standard). Each class defines a range of counts within
an exponential scale.
Unfortunately, the two systems are not identical and can not
be converted in simple mathematics. However, some simple
guidelines can be given. First of all let’s look at the two sys-tems.
11,400 2,025
22,800 4,050
45,600 8,100 1,440
91,200 16,200 2,880
1,024,000 182,400 32,400 5,760
NAS1638
The NAS system divides particles in 5 ranges.
Furthermore, the NAS system specify different counts within
each particle range to score a specific class.
In practice oil samples will show up to gain almost same
NAS class rating within the different particle ranges. The
system is designed to match the most common found con-tamination which has really many small particles and fever
big particles. The sidebar example shows a typical oil analy-sis with counts divided in the 5 classes. As seen the classes
ranges from 3 to 6, however, the resulting NAS class is de-fined as the particle count with the highest (worse) score, and
only this class is specified.
The sidebar example will be classified as “NAS1638 class 6”.

ISO 4406
The ISO system is not as practical orientated as the NAS sys-tem. First of all it consists of 2 or 3 figures. Each figure de-fine a class within a size range. A typical ISO 4406 oil test
will be indicated as:
17/15/12
Particles > 2 u
Particles > 5 u
Particles >15 u
As seen particles less than 2 u are omitted. The original
ISO4406 operated with only two digits omitting counts below
5 u. This standard is still widely accepted, though it does not
relieve the same information as the newer 3 digit ISO version.
15/12
Particles > 5 u
Particles > 15 u
The cleanliness levels represent the particle counts as shown
in the table.
(Not to get stuck in mathematics: the class represents powers
of the numeral 2. A cleanliness level 15 indicates counts be-tween 214 (16,383) and 215 (32,768) for a sample of 100 ml
fluid).
The sidebar example will be classified “ISO4406 17/15/12”

NAS and ISO
To conclude: NAS and ISO can not be compared directly.
As seen both NAS and ISO operates exponentially. In both
systems, the particle counts must be halved to reduce the
class or cleanliness level one digit.
In practice the great advantage of the NAS system is that con-tamination is identified by only one class number. For identi-fying contamination sources this could be a limitation which
does not apply as much for the ISO system which is more
open yet complicated.
The NAS and ISO 2-digit systems does not take particles less
than 5 u into consideration. The ISO 3-digit system monitors
down to 2 u particles.
The ISO system has the same class definition throughout the
particle ranges. The NAS system has different definition of
class within each particle range.
