New: PCM500 Series

Fluid Cleanliness Monitor
The PCM500 Fluid Cleanliness Monitor is a
portable diagnostic monitoring device that provides
a measurement of system fluid cleanliness.

As the successor to the popular PCM400, the new

improved PCM500 uses proven mesh blockage
technology to report accurate, reliable, 3 part ISO 4406
cleanliness codes for most types of fluids, in many
types of environment.
With the PCM500 you can:
t Monitor contamination levels in mineral, synthetic,
or water based fluids. Results are unaffected by the
presence of water, air, or dark fluids
t Get accurate, 3 part* ISO 4406 cleanliness code
results in under 6 minutes and to quickly take
preventative action
