DONALDSON Portable Fluid Analysis Kit
The Donaldson Portable Fluid Analysis Kit allows you to conduct immediate on-site particulate and water analysis in as little as ten minutes.
Using the patch test method, you can quickly and reliably assign a three-digit cleanliness code per ISO 4406-1999 to a given fluid sample.
Simply pull a 25ml fluid sample through a patch membrane filter and compare oil sample particle distribution with the Fluid Cleanliness Comparison guide (included) to assign an ISO Cleanliness Code.
FEATURES:
- A great alternative to expensive, portable electronic devices.
- The Donaldson Portable Fluid Analysis Kit includes enough supplies for 100 fluid samples.
- All apparatus is securely packaged and well-protected with laser-etched foam in a sturdy carrying case.
- Also included is a water test kit that can be used to determine the percentage of water in hydraulic and lubrication oils.
- The water test kit has five ranges from .005% to 12% water. measurements can be in parts per million or as a percentage of volume.
- Use this kit to determine which systems need improved filtration. When improvements are made, use it to monitor the cleanliness status of the system.
- The kit includes detailed operating instructions and a visual comparison guide.
