THE OIL DETECTOR TUBE
|
| The sections of the vial are the Transfer Agent and the
Indicator. A Refrigerant Vapor/Oil stream is allowed to flow into the tube. The liquid Oil will be observed wetting through the Transfer Agent. As soon as the Oil reaches the Indicator segment, the flow must be manually stopped. The Oil test is not affected by refrigerant gas type. |
|
| The TRANSFER AGENT contains dye fractions bonded to an ion exchange resin. The ion exchange resin will release a specific dye in direct proportion to the conductance of the Oil. Ignore any color change that occurs within the Transfer Agent. |
|
| The INDICATOR segment of the Oil Detector Tube will capture and preserve the dye fraction liberated by the Transfer Agent for comparison against the Color Chart. The Indicator does not need to be fully stained. The Indicator can only hold about two (2) drops of Oil and this test only requires about one-tenth (1/10) of a drop. |
Failure to stop Oil flow will completely wash
the test results out of Tube.
