When we think about oil analysis, it really begins with the tools and modifications that are necessary to properly take an accurate oil sample. The key to accurate oil sampling is minimizing data disturbance by preventing contamination of the sampling equipment. When outside contaminants are introduced in any way, the analysis will come back with inconsistent reports. Oil analysis, at its core, tracks and predicts failure modes by trending data over time. Let's explore the equipment that needs to be installed to ensure contaminant-free sampling and the oil sampling methods that each of these tools requires.
Minimess Sampling Valves
Often called a sample probe, the minimess valve is one of the most common and consistently accurate modifications for oil sampling. These valves should be installed on an elbow for lines with a high viscosity. Minimess valves can also be used on low-pressure systems; however, low-pressure systems require a soft valve seat to avoid leakage.

If you could find an investment that guaranteed a return 40 times greater than your initial investment, you probably wouldn't pass it up.
MAINTAIN? REPAIR? REPLACE?
When considering the life of any asset, the question arises: what types of interventions should be planned to keep it operating or to restore operation in the event of its failure?
Engineering Reports Should Be Like Bad Movies
I'm frequently asked to review engineering reports, and I'm continually baffled by how many engineers want to take their readers on a journey instead of getting to the point.
WHY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES AREN'T ENOUGH TO MITIGATE LUBRICANT CONTAMINATION
There are few problems more insidious or damaging to large industrial machinery than contaminated lubricant.
LUBRICATION CONTAMINATION PREVENTION
How many articles have you read, or seminars listened to, that tout the value of contamination control? If you are like me, they number in the hundreds—if not thousands. One thing about these articles and seminars that bothers me is the word “control”.
