Patch Test Kit & Carry Case

The FA-ST Oil Patch Testing Kit offers an incredibly cost-effective solution, priced below £500. It rivals kits valued between £1,000 and £3,000 in terms of its capability to identify and track contamination levels in fluid power systems. This kit empowers users with the ability to conduct instant visual analysis using a microscope, pinpointing major types of system wear, including bright and black metals, fibres, silica, plastics, elastomers, and more.

The process is simple: A sample of the test fluid is passed through a filter membrane using the vacuum pump, then dried and mounted in a membrane holder for visual assessment via a microscope. Any contamination particles are clearly visible on the patch, allowing for the determination of a NAS Class/ISO Cleanliness rating. Monitoring oil cleanliness not only prevents costly breakdowns and downtime but also extends oil life and safeguards warranties. It serves as an invaluable early warning tool, and its user-friendly nature requires minimal self-training. For those seeking additional expertise, training is available for an additional fee.
