REPORT FORMAT

Our Fluid Analysis reports display all machine and customer information, recommendations and sampling history in a concise, easy to understand format.

SAMPLING OPTIONS

You can draw your fluid sample using la conventional vacuum pump, or a Toromont technician can install a sampling test port to any one of your machine's fluid compartments. When using a sampling test port you can easily draw fluid from your machine’s compartments using a probalizer tip included free in our 10-pack kits.

Oil Sampling Techniques

USING OIL VALVE PROBE

This sampling method requires a Brass Probe (8T9208) and approximately 15 cm (6 in) of tubing. If you are sampling several compartments, begin with the cleaner systems-usually the hydraulic system, then the transmission or steering system, and finally the engine system.

USING VACUUM EXTRACTION

This sample method requires a Vacuum Pump (1U5718 or equivalent). Use this method for pressurized systems not equipped with sampling valves. Again, it is important to use a new piece of tubing after sampling engine oil because soot and oil additives may remain in the tubing and contaminate other samples.
