Please note that sampling procedural guides can be found in the 'S.O.S Tips & Tools’ section.
Below is a list of part numbers available from William Adams that may assist with your S.O.S program.
A box of 10 standard S.O.S kits. See SOS003 for contents of each individual kit.
SOS002 also includes 3 Express Post Parcel bags. Up to 3 canisters can be placed into each Reply Paid bag for delivery to our laboratory. Individual Reply Paid canisters can also be placed directly into Australia Post mail boxes.

Our standard individual S.O.S Kit, including sample bottle, tubing, S.O.S card and pre-paid postage canister (simply place the addressed canister into any Australia Post mailbox).

The adaptor screws directly onto your sample bottle, allowing samples to be taken directly from a live sampling valve straight into the bottle. The adaptor must be flushed clean with the oil being sampled before every new sample.

- 1U-5718 S.O.S Vacuum Pump:
Used for the Vacuum Extraction Method for sampling. The pump is re-usable, though new tubing should be used for each sample.
Clean and trouble free solution to cutting sampling tube. 1U-8589 replacement blades are also available.

The Probe Holder fits over the sampling probe and tube. The textured surface provides grip for easy sampling from a live sampling valve. 162-8873 includes only one holder. The image shows a second probe holder installed onto the tube and probe for demonstration purposes only.

- 177-9343 Cap & Probe Group:
The Cap & Probe Group holds the sampling tube inside the bottle during sampling. The screw cap ensures no dirt or debris enters the bottle whilst the sample is being taken. Single use.
