Setting up Fluid Sample Types of Test

A type of test identifies a subset of the tests performed on samples in the lab, for example, ferrography, particle count, or infrared radiation. Types are assigned to lab fluid sample settings.

When you create a fluid sample and select a fluid type and type of test, APM copies the tests from the type of test, checking that only tests supported by the fluid type are copied to the sample.

This topic explains how to set up a type of tests.
