FEATURES
Compatible with hydraulic, lube oils and diesel fuel Provides results on site in a matter of minutes Determines solid contamination level and particle types Includes all necessary equipment in a sturdy, portable, protective case
SUGGESTED SAMPLING INTERVALS & METHODS Fluid analysis is most effective when samples are representative of typical operating conditions. Always take samples at regularly scheduled intervals and from the same sampling point each time. How critical a piece of equipment is to production should be a major consideration for determining sampling frequency.
Hydraulic
250-500 hours
By vacuum pump through reservoir sample valve & tube or in-line after the pump / before the filter
Gearboxes
750 hours
By vacuum pump through sample valve & tube
Compressors
Monthly or at least every 500 hours
By vacuum pump through sample valve & tube
Turbines
Monthly or at least every 500 hours
By vacuum pump through reservoir sample valve & tube or in return line
CONSISTENCY is the key when selecting a point to sample from on a component. This consistency extends to not only the point chosen but also to the method used to extract the sample from that point. Variations in methods and points can lead to inconsistent and erroneous results. As well, the sample point you select should preferably be relatively easily accessible i.e. no need to remove guards or other parts of the machinery.
