ISO Cleanliness Code: Hydraulic Fluid Contamination

This document contains information about ISO cleanliness codes for hydraulic fluid contamination: 1. The ISO code numbers represent increasing levels of particulate contamination per milliliter of fluid, ranging from codes 07 to 25. 2. A comparison table shows equivalencies between the ISO/DIS 4406 codes, BS 5540/4 codes, Defence Std. 05/42, NAS 1638 and SAE 749 standards in terms of particle counts. 3. To determine if a fluid conforms to a given standard, the recommended experimental procedure for that standard should be referenced in addition to particle count data.
