Some fluids cannot be analysed through Automatic Particle Counters.
Amongst these are two phase liquids, emulsions, and highly contaminated liquids whose extraordinary high content of contaminants per millilitre greatly exceeds the maximum particle concentration of an Automatic Particle Counter. In order for PAMAS to continue to support customers, existing and new, when analysing such fluids, PAMAS offers its own automatic microscope system for the analysis of filter membranes.

Filderstadt, 3 April 2023. The innovative Zeta Potential Analyzer ZPA 20 has won the Best of Industry Award in the category Laboratory & Analytical Technology
.
The Zeta Potential Analyzer ZPA 20 enables the precise characterisation of the charge situation as well as the determination of the isoelectric point of solid surfaces, particles, and fibre bundles. Investigations of the zeta potential are of interest in a variety of applications, such as the analysis of glass fibre bundles, wafers, fuel cell membranes, fouling processes of filters, or bacterial growth on food packaging.
This year, the device, developed by the laboratory instruments manufacturer DataPhysics Instruments GmbH, has been awarded the Best of Industry Award in the category Laboratory & Analytical Technology

Foodstuffs are often mixtures of different ingredients and are therefore liable to separate. It is important to quantify these separation processes to optimise food product formulations. The MultiScan MS 20 dispersion stability analysis system, developed by DataPhysics Instruments, can reliably and efficiently analyse food dispersions regarding their destabilisation and aging. The following use case evaluates five milk substitutes and compares the occurring destabilisation mechanisms.

Hydraulic systems in the offshore Oil&Gas industry are operated with biodegradable hydraulic liquids for for safety and ecologic reasons . These water-glycols cause less harm than oil based hydraulic fluids if they accidentally flow into sea water. Water based fluids are also preferred because of their stable viscosity regardless of oscillating temperatures. Furthermore, they are fire resisting and hardly inflammable. Water based hydraulic fluids are used in the following offshore applications: Subsea Christmas Trees and Wellhead Assemblies, Hydraulic Power Units, Hydraulic Accumulators, Subsea Umbilicals, Hydraulic Valves and Control Systems.

The cleanliness control of components and of packing materials can also be monitored with the aid of an automatic particle counter. For such applications, the surface cleanliness is analysed indirectly, i.e. the particles are at first extracted from the surface (e.g. through flushing, hosing, flooding or through removal in the ultrasonic bath); afterwards the rinsing fluid is analysed with the aid of the automatic particle counter.
