1. Fluid Sampling Made Simple OilScan

2. What is Oil Analysis?
Oil analysis provides a detailed view of what is happening within machine components during operation
Identifies Wear, Contaminant & Additive Elements:
Detects 21 elements that can represent wear metals ]
wear corrosion, dirt contamination and oil and coolant additives in the lubricant
Monitors Lubricant Physical Properties:
Viscosity
Total Acid Number
Water Content
Soot
Fuel Dilution

3. Step 1: Sample Collection
5 methods, 1 standard.
Fill Port
Dip Stick Port
Sampling Port
Return Line Tap
Drain Port

4. Step 1: Sample Collection
Fill Cap – Utilizes Vacuum Sample Device (Bellow,® or Sample Pump)
Sample drawn through fill cap
Vacuum container pulls sample into bottle
Tube length should be cut to meet center level of the sump
Simple, Clean, Easy, and Reliable

5. Step 1: Sample Collection
Dip-Stick / Drop Tube - Utilizes Vacuum Sample Device (Bellow,® or Sample Pump)
Most popular sampling method for static tanks and crankcases
Universal lube access through fill-ports and/or dipstick channels
No special hardware installation
Insert tube to center level of sump
Avoid jamming tube against bottom of sump

6. Step 1: Sample Collection
Dip-Stick / Drop Tube - Utilizes Vacuum Sample Device (Bellow,® or Sample Pump)
Most popular sampling method for static tanks and crankcases
Universal lube access through fill-ports and/or dipstick channels
No special hardware installation
Insert tube to center level of sump
Avoid jamming tube against bottom of sump

7. Step 1: Sample Collection
Drain Port – No special sampling apparatus required
Least accurate and reliable method
Remove drain plug from bottom of tank and allow sufficient flow to remove any bottom sediment and water
Perform visual assessment of sample to ensure no visible debris is present, resample if necessary

8. Step 1: Sample Collection
Sample Port (Sump) - Utilizes fixed sample port such as Mini-mess or Push-Button
Permanent sampling fixture or port
Collection source provides consistent accuracy
Provides exceptional assessment of machine status
Applicable on pressurized and unpressurized systems

9. Step 1: Sample Collection
Sample Port (In-Line) - Utilizes fixed sample port such as Mini-mess or Push-Button
Sample drawn from common return line
Collection point provides superior accuracy
Should be located up- stream of the filter
Best method for assessment of a machines contamination

10. Step 2: Ensure a Quality Collection
Sample Precautions
Draw all lube samples from optimal areas of the tank or return line
Collect while lubricant is circulating or collect within 30-minutes of shutdown
Consistency is key, take samples the same way each time

11. Step 2: Ensure a Quality Collection
Don’t Wait for the Lab…
Perform visual assessment on-site
Look for irregularities in your sample:
Water
Visible Metal or Debris
Abnormal Discoloration
Cloudiness
Take any necessary corrective actions
***Note any abnormal condition(s) on your sample form***

12. Step 3: Provide Detailed Sample Information
Help the Lab Help You
Complete all required documentation (Sample Form / Label)
Report if sample was drawn cold
Describe atypical conditions
Include consistent equipment ID numbers
Supply test point locations

13. Step 4: Equipment Precautions
Inspect lube levels before sampling Monitor lube levels while sampling Ensure all caps are put back on and sample ports closed after sampling is completed

14. Step 5: Review Results
Review sample reports immediately and implement corrections and recommendations without delay Sample reports are available electronically through Analysts’ cloud-based Lube Oil Analysis Management System (LOAMS®) Login at:
