4. Samples for gas analysis should always be taken using the overflow method. The operations described under 5 and 7
below should be carried out quickly and without interruption so as to prevent the sample from coming into contact
with the atmosphere as far as possible.
5. Method of drawing oil from the oil sample tap
Screw onto the tap o coupling element with seal, hose fitting and oil proof hose (30 to 50 cm long) turn the tap on and
fill the outer vessel with 2 to 3 liters of oil (from the outlet pipe).Insert the hose in the bottle so that its end is just short
of the bottom of the bottle. Turn the tap on and fill the bottle from the bottom upwards, slowly at first and then quickly
until two or three times the content of the bottle have overflowed into the outer vessel. Finally, reduce the flow from
the tap and, with oil still flowing, pull the bottle downwards off the hose. Seal the bottle immediately.
6. Method of drawing oil from the drainage device A22/31/40 DIN 42 551; this method is not suitable for gas analysis.
Put the outer vessel (5) under the oil outlet. Use an open-ended spanner to unscrew the cap
(contains some oil) Carefully unscrew the square-headed inner plug screw (6.2) until oil starts
to flow from the outlet (6.3). Rinse the bottle with some oil. Screw the cap (6.1) back on by hand
to stop the oil flow. Fill the bottle (4) almost full by opening the cap (6.1) again. Seal the bottle (4)
and label it.
7. The method of drawing oil from the drainage device A22/32/40 DIN 42 551 with the aid of a length
of hose is analogous to that described under 5 above, the drainage device being operated as
described under 6 above.
8. Dispose the oil in the outer vessel in the proper way.
Measuring the gas content and performance of gas analysis are possible only when the oil sample has been drawn off through a hose
without bubbles (see Figs. 1a and 1c)
* PCB-PCB tests in conformity with DIN 51 527, chlorine content tests in conformity with DIN 51577 and gas analysis can be performed
in Nuremberg only.
