Abstract: A hub, sight glass column and bottom sediment and water bowl are described. The hub is adapted to interconnect multiple machine fluid equipment to a single port on a machine. The hub is provided with an adjustable fitting connectable to a housing, and recessed within the hub. The sight glass column is configured to be indirectly attachable to a machine via a machine connector such that machine fluid is transferable from the machine to the sight glass column. The sight glass column further has a remote sensing port, and a lockable oil level ring. The bottom sediment and water bowl has a conically shaped bottom to direct fluid to a drain valve, and an indicator located on an upper tip of the drain valve. The indicator is configured to provide information with respect to one or more contaminant or property of machine fluid within the bottom sediment and water bowl.

Abstract: Apparatuses are disclosed including an apparatus for machine fluid monitoring or sampling comprising a transparent sight glass attachable to a machine such that machine fluid is transferable to the sight glass. The sight glass is at least partially constructed of one or more materials that is transparent to light in a visible region. The sight glass has an open first end, a closed second end, an inside surface and an outside surface extending from the open first end to the closed second end and across the closed second end, the sight glass at least partially surrounds a cavity within the sight glass, the inside surface and the outside surface of the closed second end being parallel. The closed second end is constructed of the one or more materials that are transparent to light in the visible region to allow inspection of machine fluid through the closed second end.

Abstract: A pressure indicator is disclosed having a coupling body and an indicator member positioned within the coupling body. The coupling body has an open first end and an open second end, an inside surface and an outside surface extending from the open first end to the open second end. The inside surface surrounds a coupling body cavity. The outside surface is threaded adjacent to the second end. The coupling body is sized and dimensioned to be threaded into a bung hole of a static storage container. The indicator member is positioned within the coupling body cavity in a sealing relationship. The indicator member, biased to a first position, is movable from the first position within the coupling body cavity to a second position outside of the coupling body cavity responsive to the coupling body being exposed to a pressure within the static storage container above a predetermined pressure threshold.

Abstract: Apparatuses are disclosed for machine fluid monitoring/sampling comprising a transparent sight glass attachable to a machine such that machine fluid is transferable to the sight glass. The sight glass may have an open first end, a closed second end, a sidewall, and an inside surface and an outside surface extending from the open first end to the closed second end and at least partially surrounding a cavity for the machine fluid, and one or more remote sensing ports. The one or more remote sensing ports may have a wall, an inner face, and an outer face, and may be positioned between the open first end and the closed second end of the sight glass. The material of the one or more remote sensing ports may be shaped to reduce distortion and/or increase visibility of the machine fluid relative to portions of the sight glass bordering the remote sensing ports.

Abstract: Apparatuses are disclosed including an apparatus for machine fluid monitoring or sampling comprising a transparent sight glass attachable to a machine such that machine fluid is transferable to the sight glass. The sight glass may have one or more ports, an open first end, a closed second end, and a cavity for the machine fluid. A grommet may be positioned in a first port of the sight glass and may have a sealable access pathway through the grommet to the cavity within the sight glass through which a probe may be extended. A magnetic plug may be positioned in the second port of the sight glass extending into the cavity within the sight glass such that the magnetic plug is positionable for contact with the machine fluid. A sample port assembly may be connected to the sight glass whereby samples of the machine fluid are accessible.

Abstract: A machine fluid testing probe is disclosed having a handle, a shaft connected to the handle, and a plurality of indicators supported by the shaft. The shaft has a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a first portion extending from the first end toward the second end, a second portion extending from the first portion toward the second end, and a shoulder defined by the second portion. The second portion has a continuous arcuate external surface having a second cross-sectional axis greater than a first cross-sectional axis of the first portion. The shaft is configured to contact a machine fluid. The plurality of indicators are supported by the first portion of the shaft between the first end and the second end. Each of the plurality of indicators is configured to test for one or more contaminants in the machine fluid.
