Consistent sampling at regular intervals, utilizing a repeatable procedure, will reduce the noise within the data to make it easier to spot any deviations from normal results, providing the earliest, and proper, notification of necessary action.
SAMPLING PROCEDURES:
Oil Sampling Using a Drain Plug/Pipe
For oil sumps/reservoirs, without fixed sampling hardware installed where dipstick or fill-cap access is unavailable. The oil sample is collected by gravity drain into a sample jar.
Oil Sampling Using a Sample Pump
This is the sampling procedure using the Fluid Life 38U Sample Pump. This procedure can be used for oil sumps/reservoirs, where dipstick, fill-cap, or other access is available.
Oil Sampling Using A Pushbutton Valve & KST-Series Valve
For components installed with a pushbutton valve or KST-Series valve.
Oil Sampling Using a Sample Valve
For a pressurized and non-pressurized fluid applications equipped with a “Thread-on Probe” style sample valve ( i.e. Fluid Life B-Series Sample Valve).
SAMPLE HARDWARE
Fluid Life offers a variety of sampling hardware options including customized solutions to fit your needs.
