Oil & Fluid Sampling
Oil & Fluid Sampling Equipment
Reliable Equipment for Clean, Representative Fluid Sampling
Collecting a representative sample is the first step towards reliable oil and fluid analysis. FA-ST supplies a comprehensive range of sampling equipment for collecting oil, fuel, coolant and other industrial fluid samples from machinery, tanks, hydraulic systems and other applications.
From complete sampling kits and sample bottles to vacuum pumps, tubing, adaptors and fixed sampling valves, our equipment is designed to help make fluid sampling clean, consistent and repeatable.
FIND THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT
Sampling Equipment for Every Application
The right sampling equipment depends on the fluid being sampled, the sampling point, the sample volume required and how the sample will be collected. Explore our main sampling equipment categories below.
Sampling Kits
Complete sampling solutions containing the equipment needed to collect fluid samples from machinery and systems.
Sample Bottles & Containers
Sample bottles and containers for collecting, storing and transporting oil, fuel, coolant and other fluid samples.
Sampling Pumps
Vacuum sampling pumps, adaptors and single-use syringes for collecting fluid samples from suitable sampling points.
Sample Valves
Fixed sampling points for collecting consistent, repeatable samples from suitable machinery and systems.
BUILD YOUR SAMPLING SETUP
The Right Equipment for Reliable Sampling
A reliable sampling process often requires more than a sample bottle or pump on its own. The components you choose need to work together and suit the application being sampled.
Sampling Point
Choose a suitable location from which to collect a representative sample. Fixed sampling valves can provide a repeatable sampling point where appropriate.
Sampling Equipment
Use a suitable pump, syringe or other collection method to draw the fluid sample from the equipment or sampling point.
Sample Bottle
Select a clean sample container with the appropriate material, capacity and connection for the application.
Tubing & Connections
Use suitable tubing, bottle heads, adaptors and other connection components to complete the sampling arrangement.
Analysis
Once collected, samples can be prepared for transport to a laboratory or fluid analysis service.

WHY SAMPLING MATTERS
Reliable Analysis Starts with the Right Sample
The quality of a fluid analysis depends heavily on the quality of the sample collected. Using suitable sampling equipment helps reduce contamination, minimise sample loss and improve the consistency of results.
Representative Samples
Collect samples from suitable sampling points using equipment designed for the application and fluid being sampled.
Reduced Contamination
Clean bottles, suitable tubing and appropriate connections can help minimise the introduction of external contaminants into the sample.
Consistent Results
A repeatable sampling method makes it easier to collect comparable samples over time and monitor changes in equipment condition.
Efficient Sampling
The right combination of pumps, valves, containers and accessories can make routine sampling quicker and easier to carry out.

SAMPLING CONSIDERATIONS
Choose Equipment That Suits Your Sampling Application
Different fluids, machines and sampling points can require different equipment. Consider the following factors when selecting your sampling components.
Fluid Type
Consider the type of fluid being sampled and choose bottles, tubing, seals and other components that are suitable for the application.
Sampling Point
The location and access point can influence the type of pump, valve, tubing or connection required to collect the sample effectively.
Sample Volume
Select a suitable sample container and collection method based on the volume required for the intended analysis.
Connections & Compatibility
Check thread sizes, tubing connections, bottle interfaces and other dimensions to ensure components work together.
Clean Sampling
Use clean and suitable sampling components to help minimise contamination and protect the integrity of the collected sample.
Sampling Frequency
For regular condition monitoring, consider equipment that makes repeated sampling practical, consistent and easy to carry out.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Oil & Fluid Sampling Equipment FAQs
Find answers to some of the most common questions about sampling equipment, sample collection and choosing the right components for your application.
What equipment do I need to take an oil sample?
The equipment required depends on the sampling point and application. A typical setup may include a sample bottle or container, sampling pump, tubing and suitable connections. Where regular sampling is required, a fixed sampling valve can also provide a repeatable sampling point.
What is the difference between a sampling kit and individual sampling components?
A sampling kit brings several commonly required components together as a convenient solution. Individual bottles, pumps, valves and accessories can be selected separately when you need a specific configuration or replacement component.
Which sample bottle should I use?
The appropriate bottle depends on the fluid being sampled, the required sample volume, the analysis being carried out and the sampling method. Consider the bottle material, capacity, cleanliness and connection requirements before selecting a container.
When would I use a sampling pump?
A sampling pump can be used to draw fluid from a suitable sampling point into a sample container. The correct pump depends on the sampling arrangement, container and application.
What is a fixed oil sampling valve?
A fixed sampling valve provides a dedicated access point for collecting fluid samples from suitable equipment or fluid systems. It can make repeated sampling more consistent by providing a defined sampling location.
How can I reduce contamination when taking a sample?
Use clean, suitable sampling equipment and containers, select an appropriate sampling point and follow a consistent sampling procedure. Tubing, connections and other components should also be suitable for the application and kept clean.
Can I buy sampling equipment individually?
Yes. Sampling equipment can be selected according to your requirements, including sample bottles, pumps, valves and other sampling accessories. This can be useful when replacing existing components or building a sampling setup to suit a specific application.
Can you help me choose the right sampling equipment?
If you are unsure which equipment or combination of components is suitable, contact our team with details of your application, sampling point and fluid. We can help you identify the equipment you may need.
