SOS4 Filtergram kit and SOS15 Filtercake analysis kit

The oil sample bottle, mailing container and plastic tubing are no longer supplied with the SOS4 or SOS15 kits. Both kits will contain the relevant SOS4 or SOS15 box, sample registration card, printed zip lock plastic bag and Australia Post mail satchel.

  2. Sample is placed into the supplied plastic bag
  3. Sample and completed sample card are placed back into the box, then into supplied Australia Post mail satchel.

New Fluid Sample Pumps

The Hastings Deering Condition Monitoring Centre is pleased to announce the release of two new Australian made sample pumps. The SOS21 pump is for all your oil samples and there is now a new dedicated pump for taking coolant samples. The SOS22 pump is identified by the blue pump head, making it easier for servicemen to identify pumps and dramatically reduce the risk of cross contamination during the sampling process.

Hastings Deering has a range of testing to suit nearly any applications to optimize the productive life of machinery. Analysis can be performed on lubricating oil, grease, coolant, diesel, emulsion fluids and particle wear debris analysis. Sample kits are easily identified, making it simple to determine the correct analysis for the job with a single payment including postage, analysis, and reporting. Analysis of the routine oil samples can be completed in as little as 24 hours from receipt of the sample. The majority of testing conforms to ASTM methodology and includes appropriate calibrations and quality control samples to provide assurance of reliable results.

Our dedicated team provide timely analysis and interpretation of your samples to assist you with your maintenance processes. All results can be viewed through our Oil Commander software. A user friendly, internet application that allows you to manage and assess your analysis results online from anywhere in the world you have internet access.
