Fluid Analysis

Product catalog summary
Overview of Donaldson Fluid Analysis Program
Donaldson's Fluid Analysis Program is designed to assess the condition of lubricants, detect component wear, and identify contamination. This service aims to optimize filtration performance, extend equipment life, and reduce downtime by identifying issues early.

Fluid Analysis Service
The service is conducted by an ISO 17025 A2LA accredited laboratory, providing immediate results upon sample processing. It includes data management tools to enhance maintenance practices.

Sampling Intervals and Methods
Recommended sampling intervals depend on equipment type, such as 250-500 hours for hydraulic systems and 750 hours for gearboxes. Consistent sampling points are crucial for accurate representation.

Sending Samples
Samples should be sent with a completed Component Registration Form, labeled sample jar, and via a trackable shipping service to the Donaldson Fluid Analysis Laboratory.

Test Results and Reports
Reports feature color-coded severity results and graphical fluid cleanliness representations, aiding in trend identification and problem pinpointing, influencing equipment purchasing decisions.

Reading the Analysis Report
Understanding the report requires knowledge of equipment and lubricant details, which affect analysis depth and recommendations. Severity is color-coded, with prioritized recommendations.

Elemental Analysis
This analysis detects wear particles, contamination, and additives in parts per million (ppm), helping to assess wear type and severity.

Special Testing
Tests like Analytical Ferrography and Water by Karl Fischer offer insights into particle size and water content.

Photo Micropatch
Reports include a photo micropatch showing wear debris and contamination at 100x magnification for visual fluid condition assessment.

ISO Cleanliness Code Explanation
The ISO Cleanliness Code uses three numbers to represent particle size ranges, such as 19/18/15 for particles at 4μm, 6μm, and 14μm.

Donaldson Portable Fluid Analysis Kit
This kit enables on-site fluid analysis, providing results in about 10 minutes. It measures particulate and water contamination, assigning an ISO Cleanliness Code via the patch test method. It includes a water test kit for oil water percentage ranging from 0.005% to 12%.

Kit Contents
The kit contains a sampling pump, membrane filters, a 100X microscope, and analysis cards, all in a sturdy carrying case with instructions and a visual guide.

Portable Oil Diagnostic System (PODS)
The PODS offers real-time oil condition analysis, measuring particle count, viscosity, and temperature. It supports ISO 4406 and NAS 1638 reporting formats and is calibrated to ISO 11171 standards. The portable system includes a rugged case and a buffer for 500 records.

Technical Specifications
The PODS features eight size channels, a 50 ml/min flow rate, and a 30,000 particles/ml concentration limit. It operates within a 0 to 90°C fluid temperature range and measures viscosity from 10 to 424 cSt. It supports data storage for 500 samples and both bottle and online operation modes.

Environmental and Power Specifications
The PODS operates in ambient temperatures from 0 to 50°C and can be stored at -40 to 70°C. It is powered by a rechargeable battery or AC adapter, with an operating time of 100 samples or 4 hours of continuous use.

FILTRATION SOLUTIONS Fluid Analysis Program Fluid analysis is a snapshot of what is happening inside your equipment. It tells you optimizing filtration performance • Safely extend drain intervals identifying minor problems before they become major failures • Maximize asset reliability • Extend equipment life Fluid Analysis Section Index HIAC PODS Portable Oil Diagnostic System .297 Test Kits and Sampling North America The fluid sampling program featured in this section is used by North American located outside of North you contact your local Donaldson distributor about the fluid sampling kits Suggested Sampling Intervals and 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.

Significant changes are flagged and printed in the gray areas of the report. Samples* appear newest numbered associated with them throughout important physical property. Depending on lube grade, Oxidation measures the breakdown of a lubricant due to age and operating conditions. Oxidation prevents additives from working and therefore promotes increased acid content, as well as increased viscosity. Nitration is an indication of excessive "blow-by"...
