3. What is Fluid Analysis? Preventive, diagnostic testing that:
Identifies contaminants and component wear
Ensures lubricant integrity
Identifies minor problems before they become major failures
Maximizes asset reliability
Lubricants are the “lifeblood” of machines and equipment. Routine testing and analysis can show you how the condition of the lubricant can affect equipment performance – much like a doctor can identify problems and determine treatment by drawing a blood sample. It can help you determine the maintenance a piece of equipment needs. The right maintenance at the right time can dramatically extend the life of your equipment – and save you valuable time and money.

4. Benefits of Fluid Analysis
Identify minor problems before they become major failures— monitoring trends in wear and contamination can help prevent catastrophic failures
Extend drain intervals—fluid changes should be performed when the condition of the fluid requires them, reducing unnecessary labor costs
Extend equipment life—monitoring system cleanliness can help reduce repair and replacement costs and enables you to keep equipment longer
Maximize asset reliability—scheduling downtime according to your schedule can eliminate unforeseen decreases in production
Being able to see exactly what’s happening inside an engine, hydraulic system, or differential enables your customer to:
Identify minor problems before they become major failures
Extend equipment life
Maximize asset reliability
Reduce downtime of costly equipment

22. LubeWatch® Oil Analysis Program Sampling Information

23. Sampling Best Practices
Take samples:
Under normal operating conditions or after shutdown while still at operating temperature
At regularly scheduled intervals
From the same sampling point each time
Samples should be taken at regularly scheduled intervals and from the same sampling point each time. How critical a piece of equipment is to production is a major consideration for determining sampling frequency, as are environmental factors such as hot, dirty operating conditions, short trips with heavy loads and excessive idle times.

24. Suggested Sampling Intervals

26. Component Registration Form
Step 1
Fill out form completely and accurately
Use ONLY for first-time samples or changes in unit or fluid information previously submitted
Place in the black mailer with the sample jar
A Component Registration Form is included with each kit. Fill it out only when sampling a unit for the first time or to submit changes in component or fluid information. Remember, complete and up-to-date information ensures that you receive the proper testing and an accurate analysis of the results. Be sure to include this Component Registration Form in the mailer with your sample jar.

27. Sample Labels
Step 2
Fill out the sample jar label completely and accurately
Include unit ID, type and position
Include time on fluid and unit, note oil added or changed
Attach label to sample jar
Complete sample tracking sticker and retain
Complete a sample jar label for every sample submitted to the laboratory. Be sure to fill out all label information completely and accurately to make sure the sample is given the proper testing and you receive accurate, in-depth analysis. Attach the completed label to the sample bottle, place the sample bottle and Component Registration Form (if applicable) in the shipping container, fill in the unit’s ID on the removable tracking number sticker located to the right of the sample label and retain it for your records.

28. Shipping Samples to the Laboratory
Step 3
Take representative sample
Complete and attach the return address label to the black mailer
Include sample jar and component registration form, if needed, in black mailer
Ship by trackable delivery service such as FedEx or UPS
Track sample progress through laboratory at
Complete the return address label for the laboratory nearest you and attach it to the shipping container. Apply the appropriate postage and ship it to your laboratory using a trackable shipping service. Log onto enter the tracking number just below the barcode on the sample sticker you retained to track your sample’s progress once it arrives at the laboratory.
