A device for applying an axial compressive force to a fluid contamination detection system comprising a funnel having a reservoir-defining cup joined by a frangible connection to a filter ring, the force being sufficient to break the frangible connection and to collapse a portion of the ring into the cup without damaging the ring. The device includes a stop element and a platform operably mounted on a base, the stop element and base being in fixed relationship to each other. The device further includes an actuating mechanism for reciprocally moving the platform between first and second positions relative to the stop element, the platform and the stop element being disposed in an opposed, space-apart relation relative to each other. In the first position, the distance between the platform and the stop element is greater than the axial length of the detection system when the cup and the filter ring of the funnel are connected to each other, and in the second position, the distance between the platform and the stop element is less than the axial length of the detection system when the cup and the filter ring of the funnel are connected to each other. |
