DAMPER CONDITION MONITORING
3/4
Allow silicone fluid to reach the open end of the sample container.
This may take a few seconds or hours depending on the fluid
conditions and other factors: the higher the temperature, the
shorter the time required.
As soon as the fluid flows out through the open end of the container,
replace the screw-on cap.
Warning!
In order to perform the analysis of a silicone sample, at least 3/4 of the
container must be filled up.
Having a filling plug ready for its relocation on the damper cover,
unscrew the sample container.
Immediately replace the filling plug and torque to 2.5kg (18lb/ft), and seal
it with a punch mark. It is advisable to insert a new O-ring (included in
the kit) and to tighten the plug until matching the previously existing
marks.
Screw the cap on to the end of the container and check that both caps
are fully screwed on, but not forced. (Do not use any wrench.)
IMPORTANT
Cleanness of sample container, filling plugs and areas around the filling hole is essential. It is very important to
limit fluid spillage as much as possible during this process. Excess loss would alter the characteristics of the
damper as well as reduce the possibilities of taking more samples in future. If fluid spillage is null, at least 10
samples can be taken, when using 'Standard' 1cc containers.
