The Grease Thief® extracts representative grease samples from critical machinery for subsequent analysis and condition based maintenance. Compliant with the ASTM D7718 standard for sampling in-service greases, the technology is seen in recommended practices for applications in wind, powerplants, biomedical facility equipment, mining, steel making and general manufacturing. The Grease Thief® enables a full test slate with just 1 gram of sample.

PanAn Testing & Engineering Co.,Ltd. was founded and established in 1998 by its current Chairman, David G. Zhou.
