Why do you need Sampling Valves and Tubes?

Get cleaner, accurate oil samples with sampling valves and tubes.

Maximize Data Density

Samples should reflect the current status of the lubricant and the machine. Samples should contain the most amount of representative data possible.

Minimize Data Disturbance

Data disturbance or noise in the sample can produce false positives during testing and analysis. Following best practice for sample extraction, sample location and the correct oil analysis test slate will help reduce or eliminate data disturbance.

Proper Frequency

Sampling at the proper frequency will allow us to trend data and identify problems associated with the lubricant or the machine not just when a limit is breached, but when an abnormal rate of change is acknowledged.

Which Is the Superior Oil Sampling Method?

You ever hear the saying, “Garbage in, garbage out”? Basically, it’s the idea that you can have a perfect formula, but if what goes into the formula is bad, then the output will be bad, too. Oil analysis is a great example. Poor planning and execution while taking the oil samples for analysis will lead to inaccurate or irrelevant oil analysis reports, and incorrect or even harmful responses.

Collecting the Best Samples

Taking oil samples is commonly compared to getting your blood drawn before you see your doctor. Lubricant samples, like your blood, holds a great deal of information about the health condition of the lubricant itself but also the health of your equipment. Because this information is so critical, it is important to know the best way to take an oil sample and what tools to use. This article is intended to serve as an oil sampling guide for those getting started with oil sampling for analysis.

Dimensional Sampling

In statistics, dimensional sampling is a way of reducing the problem of sample size. But in the world of lubrication analysis, Trico has defined it in a way relative to your lubrication program, the Journey of the Lubricant®, and time.
