Grease Thief - Helicopter Grease Sampling Kit for H-47 Chinook

SHARE
The Grease Thief Helicopter Sampling Kit (MGT-01-008H) is engineered for precision sampling of greased components in helicopter drivetrains, particularly catering to Boeing's H-47 Chinook fleet. This specialized kit includes eight sampling sleeves, each equipped with a Grease Thief Type 1 sampler, spatula, and a two-part GT Injector, allowing effective sample collection and transfer with minimal loss. Designed to address sampling of swashplates, hanger bearings, and drive splines, the kit ensures high fidelity in representing grease conditions without extensive disassembly, optimizing maintenance schedules through detailed tribological studies. With an emphasis on improved shipment quality control, the kit includes robust labeling and containment features, ensuring accurate identity and purity of the collected samples. The kit's enhancement facilitates reduced maintenance time, streamlining lubrication tasks crucial for extending the lifespan and performance of helicopter components.

MGT-01-008H: The Grease Thief Helicopter Sampling Kit contains eight (8) sampling sleeves that each contain: 1 Grease Thief Type 1 sampler, 1 spatula, 1 two-part GT Injector, and one shipping tube with label.

The Grease Thief™ sample fittings are used to obtain representative and repeatable samples from greased components found in helicopter drivetrains.  This kit was designed specifically for Boeing to support a sampling program for the H-47 Chinook fleet, and is capable of representatively sampling the swashplates, hanger bearings and drive splines with minimal sample loss and effective quantitative transfer to the sampler.

Each sleeve includes a spatula to first scrape away dirty grease with the broader spoon-end, then the other narrow end is used to obtain 1 gram or more of representative grease. This is then loaded into the opened GT injector cup, and the GT Injector plunger is inserted. The Grease Thief is screwed into the GT Injector thread, and the grease is then extruded by depressing the plunger into the GT Injector cup.  Once the Grease Thief® is filled, it is then capped to engage the taper of the threads.  The filled Grease Thief® is then placed into the shipping tube and the barcode label is affixed to the tube.
