Fluid analysis has proven to be a critical tool for any preventive maintenance program. Fluid analysis can identify potential problems that cannot be detected by human senses. A comprehensive fluid analysis program can help prevent major hydraulic or lube oil system failures.

Par-Test is a complete laboratory analysis, performed on a small volume of fluid. Par-Test kit includes a precleaned plastic bottle, mailing container with preaddressed label, sample information data sheet (to be filled out by end user) and the following analysis:

Fluid sampling for Par-Test involves important steps to insure you are getting a representative sample. Often, erroneous sample procedures will disguise the true nature of the system fluid. A complete sampling procedure is detailed on the back of this brochure. There also is a National Fluid Power Association standard (NFPA T2.9.1-1972) and an American National Standards Institute Standard (ANSI B93.13-1972) for extracting samples from a fluid power system.

Par-Test results are available through the lab’s WebCheck software, and accessible via PC or Android or iOS-based mobile device using the available mobile app.

Every Par-Test bottle comes with its own mailer bag, mailing label (postage not included), and test submittal form. The datasheet form must be filled out for the very first Par-Test sample sent in by a customer or new user. After the first submission, a WebCheck profile is set up for that user and the results are emailed to the email provided on the submittal form. After the first sample submission the WebCheck software allows users with profiles to enter new sample information and check previous analysis reports via the mobile app and online via a PC.

Once a user profile has been set up, a customer then has the capability to track multiple specific assets and see the historical trending data that the Par-Test samples are providing. An asset can be QR coded and new samples can have their information uploaded and submitted via the mobile app by scanning an asset’s QR code. The physical sample must still be mailed in. However, the WebCheck software allows for all the paperwork to be digital, saving users time entering sample information, as well as finding historical data.
