Founder of Protek Specialty Co
Oil Thief--Oil Sampler--Petroleum Sampler
One of our most popular products is the oil thief, or oil sampler (which ever name you prefer). Any oil thief (or sampler) is used to test a sample of a product such as oil, but also has other industrial and agricultural uses for testing chemical and water/soil samples.
The petroleum samplers can be customized to suit the individual needs of each client. For this reason, there is a two pound variance in the weight of the product depending on the barrel size and materials you wish it to be built with. The barrel can be made from a very durable clear plastic composite, brass, or aluminum.
Hand Diaphragm Primer
The hand diaphragm primer is used to work with a centrifugal pump. It primes the pump, creating better flow. It is made aluminum and has a durable rubber seal. It is easily portable and light weight, and can be easily mounted and dismounted from a centrifugal pump. The hand diaphragm pump is mostly used for agricultural irrigation, but has other industry uses as well.

Exhaust Primer
The exhaust primer operates by using low pressure exhaust from the engine. It is operated by opening and closing the valve and measuring pressure levels from the attached pressure gauge display meter.

Oil Centrifuge Machines
An oil centrifuge machine uses centrifugal force to test the viscosity of oil or other substances. It is made of aluminum alloy and comes equipped with a c clamp for quick mounting and dismounting.
