Applied Technical Services’ ISO 16232 cleanliness testing allows manufacturers to ensure their automotive fluids are safe for motor vehicles. Our cleanliness testing services benefit manufacturers and consumers by preserving the performance and reliability of motor vehicles through preventative measures and thorough inspections.
What is ISO 16232 Cleanliness Testing?
ISO 16232 establishes a uniform standard of cleanliness for automotive components, which applies to different manufacturers and locations within the industry. The objective of the standard is to achieve technical cleanliness, which consists of the following steps:
- Initial Inspection and Evaluation
- Inspection of Components, Both Incoming and Outgoing
- Monitor and Enforce Cleanliness Standards Throughout the Manufacturing Process
Failure to properly maintain cleanliness can lead to the build-up of residual dirt contaminating automotive fluid systems, damaging the mechanical components exposed to the fluid.
Our ISO 16232 Cleanliness Testing
Our experts perform the following extraction methods to effectively remove particles from components, cleansing them of residual dirt. The extraction methods allow us to collect debris on a filter for further analysis:
- Agitation
- Functional Test Bench
- Pressure Rinsing
- Ultrasonic Techniques
We use the following methods to analyze the cleanliness of automotive fluids:
- Particle Mass Determination via Gravimetric Analysis
- Particle Sizing and Counting via Microscopic Analysis
- Particle Nature Determination via Microscopic Analysis
- Particle Sizing and Counting via Automatic Light Extinction Particle Counter
