Field Inspection

Field Sampling

We Specialize in Oil Sampling So You Don't Have To.

Precise, standardized oil sampling from our highly trained Field Inspection Technicians — so every sample is clean, every test is accurate, and every result is delivered directly to your Transformer Dashboard®.

Precision Sampling You Can Count On

Transformer oil reveals what's happening inside your equipment — signaling insulation degradation, moisture intrusion, overheating, and contamination long before failures occur. But inaccurate, non-standardized sampling can undermine it all, leading to misleading results, poor decisions, and avoidable downtime. The quality of your sampling determines the quality of your decisions.

At SDMyers, precision is non-negotiable. Our sampling protocols are built on decades of data, training, and field experience to ensure every sample is clean, accurate, and actionable. As your reliability partner, we interpret your results and help you make the right maintenance decisions.

SampleSafe® External Sampling Devices.

The safest way to obtain liquid samples from cabinet transformers

SampleSafe® external sampling devices move sampling access outside the cabinet, giving technicians the safest way to take oil samples and support oil analysis without de-energizing or opening the transformer door.

  • Sample while energized: no shutdown needed
  • Sample hassle-free: no bulky PPE and no door opening
  • Sample safely: reduces shock/arc-flash exposure by sampling externally
