Abstract:
Regular testing for fuel and glycol in used engine oil by gas chromatography can provide guidance on oil handling. Benefits include: Prevention of unnecessary oil changes and lowered costs through enhanced replaceable fluid lifetime Advanced warning of component wear prior to failure resulting in unexpected expenses and downtime This webinar will explain a novel approach to measuring total organochlorides utilizing a PerkinElmer Clarus® 590 GC with a Xylem’s XSD™ Halogen Specific Detector. This faster more efficient methodology eliminates the need for sample preparation and can analyze fuel in used engine oil in a tandem analysis in 3.5 minutes resulting in quicker actionable results for customers.
