www.marinelink.com 59Motion and control technology specialists, Parker HanniÞ n, recently introduced the compact, icount- BSplus. The icountBSplus is a fully contained, por- table bottle sampling system that uses laser particle counting technology to ensure fast and accurate detection of contamination in hydraulic oils and hydrocarbon fuels.The icountBSplus is designed to help improve the reliability, productivity and pro Þ tability of key equipment and processes. It is CE compliant and fully accredited to all particle-counting standards. Its portability and ease of use enables it to be used for portable contamination testing in a wide range of industry sectors including marine and oil and gas.The laser particle counting technology and user interface can deliver results in as little as 15 sec-onds. A front-loading sample bottle chamber pro- vides a controlled environment where every sample is degassed using suppressed, clean air prior to de-livery to the measurement cell via a Þ xed displace- ment pumping system. This helps eliminate many of the variables associated with traditional methods of contamination monitoring. An integrated relative humidity moisture sensor reports on the water con-tent in the sample being tested. An additional sensor provides accurate temperature monitoring while an external ß uid supply adaptor facilitates sampling from a hydraulic pressure line. A high-resolution touch-screen makes setup quick and simple with the ability to control the stylus and set test parameters.
