    The document explains ISO particle counting standards for measuring fluid cleanliness. It provides a table that assigns ISO cleanliness ratings based on the number of particles per milliliter larger than specified micron sizes. An example particle count distribution is given that translates to an ISO rating of 18/16/13, where the numbers refer to the particle count ranges for particles larger than 4, 6, and 14 microns respectively. ISO particle counting is used to evaluate the cleanliness of hydraulic fluids and other industrial liquids.
