Prepaid Grease Sampler Kit-Pillow Block for Cleanliness Testing

The Pillow Block Bearing Grease Sampling & Grease Cleanliness Analysis Kit includes 8 Grease Thief® sample fittings to be used to obtain representative and repeatable samples from new containers, grease guns, autolubers, equipment, etc. 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^®, which is then capped. Alternatively, the grease could be pumped directly from a grease gun into the 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 provided barcode label is affixed to the tube. The sample is sent to the laboratory for particle counting and moisture analysis testing per ASTM D7918.

In some cases, it may be helpful to use the Plastic T-handle tool to obtain certain samples.  The GreaseThief is attached to the T-handle, which allows insertion of the GreaseThief in the closed position into a machine opening or a grease reservoir, to a pre-determined depth, which the sliding tube of the T-handle is pushed forward to 'core' the grease sample from the target area. After the sampler is withdrawn, it is unscrewed from the T-Handle extension rod, capped, and placed in a clean, labeled shipping tube for shipment to the laboratory. It is also possible to use the Pick-Pocket to sample in the same manner, using the Pick-Pocket Tool to 'core' the sample. (NOTE: T-Handle extension rod MGT-01-014 or the Pick-Pocket Tool MGT-99-099, respectively, would be required for this and are sold separately).
