| Calibration |
The LCM and calibration master sample the same particle distribution suspension.
The LCM is calibrated to the master to meet specification at the measured points.
- MTD: Instrument calibrated using MTD reference material.
- ACFTD: Instrument calibrated using ACFTD reference material.
Consult Parker for recalibration.

| Notes |
- i The number of particles >70 μm (MTD), >100 μm (ACFTD) and in the ranges 50–100 μm and 100–200 μm (GOST) are not measured by this device. However, estimated values (indicated by the letter e on the display) have been calculated using the following formulae: MTD: >70e μm = >38 μm × 0.06816; ACFTD: >100e μm = >50 μm × 0.06816; GOST: 50–100e μm = >50 μm(ACFTD) × 0.93184; GOST: 100-200e μm = >50 μm(ACFTD) × 0.06816
- Special versions only - contact us.
- The instrument only uses the shorthand in these standards for reporting contamination levels.
- 95% confidence level using an MTD distribution with a concentration of 6mg/L.
- ISO 11171:2016 Annex B methodologies followed to determine Coincidence Error Limits.
