Hydac FCU 1310 - Cleanliness Class Acc. to SAE as 4059; SAE as 4059 Overview Table

Appendix
Cleanliness class acc. to SAE AS 4059
Like ISO 4406, SAE describes AS 4059 particle concentrations in liquids.
The analysis methods can be applied in the same manner as ISO 4406:1999.
The SAE cleanliness classes are based on particle size, number and
distribution. The particle size determined depends on the measurement
process and calibration; consequently the particle sizes are labeled with
letters (A-F).
The following table shows the cleanliness classes in relation to the particle
concentration determined.
