Kittiwake
Make fast on-site maintenance decisions fast with Parker Kittiwake’s complete range
of oil test kits. An economical range, providing reliable oil condition results in minutes.
Parker Kittiwake’s oil test kit range provides a complete set of economically priced equipment,
with a level of accuracy suited to routine analysis. Oil test kits provide you with a condition
monitoring tool enabling you to make informed operational and maintenance decisions about
your critical plant and equipment. The ability to test on-site at the point of use enables engineers
and facilities managers to conduct oil analysis quickly and easily. Detecting out-of-spec fuels
and lubricants can identify potential problems, before become critical. Choose from a range of
equipment and parameters to use either individually, or combined as a single test kit.
Protect your assets, improve productivity & increase uptime with regular on-site oil analysis

Multi-Parameter Oil Test Kits

Supplied ready for use, in heavy duty aluminium or durable ABS cases, Parker Kittiwake’s multi-
parameter test kits contain all of the necessary equipment and consumables for your oil condition
monitoring needs.
• Fast, accurate results for multiple oil parameters, in an easy to use, portable kit
• Make informed on-site maintenance decisions
