How do I collect a grease sample with an OELCHECK grease sampling kit?

[SanJourney]

To get a reliable grease sample using an OELCHECK grease sampling kit, follow these steps: First, clean the sampling area thoroughly with the cleaning cloth provided in the kit. If you're using the syringe method, attach the tube to the syringe and insert the tube into the lubrication point. Draw the necessary amount of grease into the tube, avoiding excess air. Bend the tube in the middle and place it into the OELCHECK sample bottle, with the bend facing upwards. Alternatively, if the syringe isn't suitable, use one of the spatulas to collect the grease. Mix the grease with the spatula to ensure a representative sample and transfer it to the sample bottle. For rolling bearings, extract grease from the cage area or between rolling elements, either with the tube or a spatula. For larger bearings, take grease from sampling openings, ideally from the main load-bearing zones, and combine the samples. Finally, complete the online sample data entry or fill out the Grease Sample Information Form. Affix the barcode to the sample bottle, place it and the form in the leak-proof envelope, and send it to OELCHECK for analysis. Following these steps ensures accurate grease samples for effective analysis.
