Proper Line Flushing

December 12, 2011
(Oil and Fluid Analysis)

All sampling valves and sampling devices should be thoroughly flushed prior to taking a sample. A different bottle should be used for flushing than what is used for sampling and new clean tubing should always be used during the sampling process to prevent cross contamination. Failure to flush the sample location will produce erroneous oil analysis results.
