Fluid Analysis is most effective when samples are representative of typical operating conditions.
taking samples
Regular sampling and testing through Doosan Fluid Analysis Program monitors trends intest data over an extended period of time, which provides the information you need tocontinually maximize asset reliability and ultimately increase your profits.
Testing & Analysis
Equipment manufacturers provide recommendations for preventive maintenance practices, but how critical a piece of equipment is to productivity should be a major consideration for determining sampling frequency. High temperatures, dirty operating conditions, short trips with heavy loads, and excessive idle times can also significantly shorten maintenance intervals.
Fluid Analysis is most effective when samples are representative of typical operating conditions. Dirt, system debris, water and light fuels tend to separate from lubricants and coolants when system temperatures cool. For optimum results, consider the following best practices:
• Identify appropriate sampling points.
• Take samples from the same sampling points each time.
• Determine proper sampling intervals and monitor
compliance with the LOAMS Sample Frequency Report and Samples Due Report.
• Take samples while systems are operating under normal conditions or immediately after shutdown while they are still at operating temperature.
• Identify and implement proper contamination control best practices.
