MGT-01-008F: The Grease Thief Pillow Block Sampling Kit contains eight (8) sampling sleeves that each contain: 1 GT Filler, 1 Grease Thief Type 1 sampler, 1 spatula, and one shipping tube with label.
The Pillow Block Bearing Grease Sampling Kit are used to obtain representative and repeatable samples from shaft line bearings such as pillow block bearings and other locations without a purge drain path. The double-sided spatula is used to scrape away dirty grease and then the clean end is used to obtain 1 gram or more of representative grease. The grease is then loaded into the specially designed GT Filler, and it’s plunger is placed in the filled funnel to transfer the sampled grease completely to fill the Grease Thief®. The capped Grease Thief® is placed into the shipping tube, and the completed equipment label is affixed to the tube.
