The new Fluid Analysis Test Kits are intended to provide oil analysis and condition monitoring tool designed to monitor:
• Fluid properties, or the condition of the oil and the additives
• Fluid contaminat

Oil samples can provide insight into the fluid and machine condition at a given point in time. Proper sampling is important in the process of taking bottle samples. The sample taken needs to be representative of the fluid in the system as it is only a small sample of the total oil volume present. Proper sampling of system is dependent upon the following factors:
• Sampling point location
• Sampling equipment used to take the sample
• Sampling method
• Frequency of sampling
• Recent maintenance completed on the system
