Three Types, Three Use Cases

Oil particle counters fall into three categories, each optimized for different scenarios.

1. Portable Particle Counters

Best for: Field inspection, multi-point testing, after-sales service

• Pros: Lightweight, flexible, instant operation, cost-effective
• Cons: Manual sampling required, no continuous monitoring
• Recommended: LWB-6 (high value), LWB-8 (high precision)

2. Online Particle Counters

Best for: Real-time monitoring of critical equipment, IIoT applications

• Pros: 24/7 continuous monitoring, auto-alert, remote data access
• Cons: Higher initial installation cost
• Recommended: LWL-3 (standard), LWL-4 (4G connectivity), LWL-6 (high precision)

3. Desktop Particle Counters

Best for: Laboratory analysis, quality inspection centers

• Pros: Highest accuracy, comprehensive features, batch testing
• Cons: Not portable, requires dedicated space
• Recommended: LWT-2A (classic), LWT-5 (lab-grade)

Selection Decision Tree

What is your testing need?
├── Mobile, on-site testing?        → Portable (LWB Series)
├── Fixed installation, continuous? → Online (LWL Series)
└── Lab precision analysis?         → Desktop (LWT Series)

Key Decision Factors

1. Accuracy: Desktop offers the highest precision
2. Budget: Portable units are most economical
3. Data management: Online units support cloud upload and remote monitoring
4. Operator skill: Portable units are easiest to operate
