Par-Test™ Fluid Sampling Kit

Fluid analysis is crucial in both engines and hydraulic systems as it can reveal problems with filtration and other internal components. Early detection can prevent costly repairs, unscheduled maintinance and production downtime.

For the most accurate monitoring, fluid samples should be constantly taken from the same location. These diagnostic fluid sampling products are designed to provide an easy access point for obtaining fluid samples.

A permanently mounted test point should be installed in either low-pressure or return lines. This eliminates the need to shut down or break lines when taking samples and reduces the chances of contamination.

When you puchase a Par-Test™ kit, you receive complete laboratory analysis included in the initial cost of the kit. Analysis includes; particle count, viscosity, water content, and spectra-chemical analysis of over 20 wear metals and additives.

Test Port Couplings

PD or PDP Series couplings provide easy connection for mechanical gauges or specialized diagnostic equipment like SensoControl®.

Typically, PD, PDP or BPD nipples are permanently mounted in the system at threaded test ports, in rigid tubing or in hose assemblies. PD or PDP couplers are attached to test instruments.

Locking balls align the couplers to the mating nipples without threading, so gauges, transducers and other test equipment can be snapped into place without difficulty.

Parker's PDP Series couplings offer the advantages of PD couplings, but are designed to connect easily and quickly under full system pressure up to 6,000 PSI (operating).

PDP couplers and nipples push-to-connect with a constant force of only six pounds. Then the coupler base is turned to open the valve and complete the connection. In the connected position, the coupler base blocks the retracting sleeve to prevent accidental disconnects.

Parker EMA-3 test port couplings provide a metering point for quick, and simple measurement in high and low pressure fluid systems.
