OIL SAMPLING FOR DISSOLVED GAS ANALYSIS AND OIL

CONDITION TEST

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
It is very important that dissolved gas analysis and oil condition testing are performed regularly in order to get a good
assessment basis for the unit.
2. SAMPLING VESSELS
Samples are preferably taken in 1.2 liter aluminum bottles
equipped with plastic caps with aluminum tightening provided
by us.
One sample from each sampling place should be taken.
If the sample is to be used only for DGA and/or moisture
content determination, and if the test unit only has a small
oil volume, then 20-ml glass syringes provided by us may be
used. Then two samples from each sampling place should be
taken.

The analysis request should be completed in conjunction with

the sampling.
The requested information is very important for the interpretation
of the test results.
The analysis request should be returned with the sampling
vessel.
Please make sure that you have entered the vessel index
number in the analysis request, page 3.
7. PACKAGING
Pack the filled sampling vessels in a shipping box with some
packing materials if necessary.
Please remember to send it together with completed analysis
request.

8. SENDING SAMPLES FOR ANALYSIS

Please send the filled sampling vessels and analysis request
to the following address:

4. SAMPLING VALVE
Suitable sampling places, in order of preference, on transformers and reactors are the cooler, cover or bottom. If the
sample is taken from cooler, pumps should be run about 30 min.
before sampling.
The prime consideration when selecting the sampling place
should be your personal safety.
The valve should be fitted with a connector to a plastic hose.
Do not use rubber hoses.
The plastic hose should be changed between each sampling
place.
