The common technique of gathering samples and processing them in a lab to determine how much oil was deposited on the metal is a laborious, pains taking process and unfortunately, the oil weight you determine is yesterday's news.
Delivery is affected by changes in temperature, which changes the viscosity, which changes the back pressure on the pump; which along with wear will change the internal leakage. Accurately measuring yesterday's delivery does not provide any real time information about flow changes. For the lab results to have value, you need an independent flow measurement to act as a comparison for the weight. Once the relationship has been established and the flow display calibrated, real time flow changes can be seen and controlled through closed loop control of the pump.
An oiler without a flow meter is like looking in the rear view mirror to drive your car. You need real time data, not historical results. Use a Max meter to close the loop on your oiler pump.
