GB/T 44378-2024 Insulating liquids—Methods for counting and sizing particles
Basic Information
Scope
This document describes the sampling procedures and methods for measuring particle concentration and particle size distribution. The document recommends three methods: one is an automatic particle size analyzer that works based on the principle of light attenuation, and the other two are methods of counting particles on the surface of a filter membrane under transmitted light or incident light using an optical microscope. The optical microscope method is specified in GB/T 20082. The above three methods are suitable for particle testing of both used and unused insulating fluids. Appendix A provides a reference sampling procedure using a syringe as a sampling container. Appendix B provides a reference method for calibrating automatic particle counters.
