Sampling Points ensure that:
- The sample is taken from the same point each
time.
- The oil is extracted from the same depth in the
compartment each time.
- Dirt and other contaminants are kept clear of
the entry point of the sample tube.
- Contamination associated with dipstick removal
is reduced
- Sampling occurs quickly and easily
Correct installation of Sampling
Points in a location that facilitates ready access
to lubrication reservoirs enhances operational efficiencies
and improves occupational health and safety protocols.
Sampling Points are small and unobtrusive and can
be located in accessible locations as demonstrated
in Figure 2.
The dust cover, illustrated in Figure 3, which is
integrated into the Sampling Point design ensures
that contaminant ingress during sampling is eliminated.
Lubricant sampling is undertaken by inserting a sample
tube into the Sampling Point and withdrawing a sample
for subsequent analysis. The sampling tube arrangement
is demonstrated in Figure 4.
The lubricant sampling procedure is demonstrated
in Figure 5. |
