The sampling of industrial grease is a delicate operation: access to the sampling point is often difficult (mechanical constraints, environmental conditions, etc.) and due to its consistency, the grease is sometimes available only in small quantities.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, given the technology of mechanical components, multiple samples may be necessary to obtain a fully representative picture. We strongly advise you to seek assistance from professionals like Eurofins IESPM to determine the best approach and to study case by case the appropriate sampling methods.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; dsm_opposite_text=&#8221;The Sampling&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; parent_header_level=&#8221;h4&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/dsm_content_timeline_child][dsm_content_timeline_child dsm_use_icon=&#8221;on&#8221; font_icon=&#8221;&#xf0e0;||fa||900&#8243; dsm_content=&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Once the sampling is done, you need to fill in the technical information regarding your sample.
