SAMPLING PROCEDURE DOS & DONTS
Do Dont
Use sampling valves Sample cold system
Locate valves to be convenient Drain-port sampling whatever
and effective drains out
Allow enough operating time Changing sampling methods
to evaporate condensation and point
Train sampling personnel to Dirty sampling pathway
ensure consistency Cross-contamination of sampling
Get a representative sample! devices
Waiting days (or weeks) before
sending samples to lab

ZZZZ IMPLICATIONS
Both Federal (EPA) and State regulators are actively conducting audits
Proper sampling technique and paperwork preparation important
Recordkeeping importance elevated
Missed samples frowned upon
Was oil changed when sample was taken? If it was, check the
Oil Changed box
Periodic database maintenance is recommended
Designation of an oil analysis program administrator is encouraged

OIL ANALYSIS TESTS
SOPUS Products
WHATS IMPORTANT?
For Gas Engine Oils the most important tests would include:
FTIR Oxidation and Nitration Oil degradation
Water or Coolant content Corrective action required
Viscosity (D 445) Oil degradation, contamination
Elemental Analysis Wear metals, additives and contaminants
Total Acid Number Oil degradation, acid formation
SOPUS Products
OXIDATION
SOPUS Products
NITRATION
Nitration is the reaction of oil with NOx from combustion process usually
a problem if air/fuel ratio unbalanced
Measures oil degradation resulting in oil thickening, engine lacquering
(varnish), sludge and fouling
Forms weak acids resulting in corrosion of bearings and oil cooler
SOPUS Products
TOTAL ACID NUMBER (TAN)
Total Acid Number (TAN) Measures oil degradation and acid formation
Attention level: Increase of 2.5

WATER / COOLANT
Water (0.1 Vol% Max) Water in Gas engines normally boils out of the oil.
