Baldwin FleetStrip Engine Coolant Analysis Kits: Precision Testing for Heavy-Duty Cooling Systems

Baldwin Filters has been a trusted name in heavy-duty filtration since 1936, and that same commitment to quality extends beyond filters to the tools that keep cooling systems operating at peak health. Their Engine Coolant Analysis Kits — sold under the well-known FleetStrip brand name — give fleet managers, technicians, and owner-operators a fast, reliable way to monitor coolant condition without sending samples to a lab.

Why Coolant Testing Matters

Engine coolant does far more than prevent freezing. It carries heat away from critical engine components, inhibits corrosion, and — when treated with Supplemental Coolant Additives (SCAs) — protects cylinder liners from cavitation pitting. Over time, those protective chemical levels deplete. Periodic testing is essential to confirm that nitrite, molybdate, and freeze-point protection remain within the correct operating range before damage occurs.

Baldwin's FleetStrip kits are specifically engineered to measure those critical SCA parameters quickly and accurately. It is worth noting that the FleetStrip system is designed to test conventional SCA-treated coolants; it does not test Long Life Organic Acid (OAT/HOAT) formulations, making it ideal for diesel fleets running traditional coolant maintenance programs.

Baldwin FleetStrip Product Line

Baldwin offers the FleetStrip Engine Coolant Analysis Kit in several configurations to suit different maintenance needs:

• CTK5029 — Full FleetStrip Coolant Test Kit: The complete kit includes a sample vial, extraction pipette, color chart, instruction sheet, plastic carrying case, and 50 test strips. It measures freeze point, nitrite, and molybdate levels, making it a comprehensive on-site diagnostic tool for fleet maintenance programs.
• CTK5029-1 — FleetStrip Test Strip Only: A single replacement test strip with color chart and instruction sheet, ideal for individual spot checks or topping off an existing kit.
• CTK5029-4 — FleetStrip Test Strip Kit (4 Strips): Contains four test strips, a color chart, and instruction sheet — a convenient option for smaller fleets or technicians who need a compact, portable testing solution.
• CTK5029-M — FleetStrip Coolant Test Kit (Metric): A metric-formatted version of the full kit, including a carrying case, 50 test strips, extraction pipette, sample vial, and metric color chart — designed for commercial trucks and buses in markets using metric measurement.

Built on Baldwin's Heavy-Duty Heritage

Baldwin — now part of Parker Hannifin — has long built its reputation around demanding applications: over-the-road commercial trucking, construction, mining, agriculture, and marine equipment. That same heavy-duty philosophy informs the FleetStrip line. The kits are manufactured in the United States and cross-reference directly with equivalent Fleetguard products (CC2602B), making them a proven alternative for technicians already familiar with industry-standard coolant maintenance procedures.

Whether you manage a large commercial fleet or maintain a single work truck, Baldwin's FleetStrip kits offer a straightforward, cost-effective way to verify that your cooling system's chemistry is protecting the engine it was designed to serve.
