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.

Fluid Analysis Service FILTRATION SOLUTIONS Test Data Test results are listed according to age of the sample—oldest to most recent, top to bottom- apparent. 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...
