What's inside
- Define the loop: TCS or immersion, volume, facility water class, wetted materials, lowest temperature.
- Specify the fluid: concentration, inhibitor technology, "free of" requirements, OCP PG25 reference, qualifications, hardware approvals.
- Documents to request: datasheet, SDS, certificate of analysis per batch, materials compatibility, shelf life.
- Supply and logistics: pack sizes, MOQ, lead times, regional stock, continuity plan.
- Fill, commissioning and monitoring: flushing, filling service, test plan and limits, lab turnaround.
- Commercials and end of life: delivered price per litre, validity, warranty, take-back and disposal.
- Supplier comparison grid to score three quotes side by side.
Why use a checklist
Fluid quotes are hard to compare when each supplier answers different questions. Asking every supplier the same points (approval for your hardware, documents, monitoring and delivered price) makes the comparison fair, and surfaces gaps before the first fill rather than after.
Already know what you need? Skip ahead and request supplier quotes, or compare fluids in the PG25 comparison table.
