NAS1638 Cleanliness Code SystemAppendix CThe NAS system was originally developed in 1964 to define contaminationclasses for the contamination contained within aircraft components. The applicationof this standard was extended to industrial hydraulic systems simplybecause nothing else existed at the time. The coding system defines the maximumnumbers permitted of 100ml volume at various size intervals (differentialcounts) rather than using cumulative counts as in ISO 4406:1999. Althoughthere is no guidance given in the standard on how to quote the levels,most industrial users quote a single code which is the highest recorded in allsizes and this convention is used on the <strong>CMS</strong> software.Figure C.ICONTAMINATION LEVEL CLASSESaccording to NAS1638 (January 1964).The contamination classes are defined by a number (from 00 to 12) whichindicates the maximum number of particles per 100 ml, counted on a differentialbasis, in a given size bracket.NAS1638 Cleanliness Code System 65
