What Can the Donaldson

nnnn

Fluid Analysis Program

nnnn

Do For You?

nnnn

Fluid analysis is a snapshot

nnnn

of what is happening inside

nnnn

your equipment. It tells you

nnnn

the condition of the lubricant

nnnn

and identifies component

nnnn

wear and contamination in

nnnn

virtually any application so

nnnn

that you can:

nnnn

• Identify opportunities for

nnnn

optimizing filtration performance

nnnn

• Safely extend drain intervals

nnnn

• Minimize downtime by

nnnn

identifying minor problems

nnnn

before they become

nnnn

major failures

nnnn

• Maximize asset reliability

nnnn

• Extend equipment life

The fluid sampling program

nnnn

featured in this section is

nnnn

used by North American

nnnn

customers. If you're

nnnn

located outside of North

nnnn

America, we recommend

nnnn

you contact your local

nnnn

Donaldson distributor about

nnnn

the fluid sampling kits

nnnn

available.

nnnn

Suggested Sampling Intervals and Methods

nnnn

Fluid analysis is most effective when samples are representative of typical

nnnn

operating conditions. Always take samples at regularly scheduled intervals

nnnn

and from the same sampling point each time. How critical a piece of

nnnn

equipment is to production should be a major consideration for determining

nnnn

sampling frequency.
