Abstract:
Monitoring trace metals in lubricating oils by ICP-OES is a sensitive and robust method for analyzing the oils and determining the condition of lubricant. In this work, we demonstrate that elemental analysis of oil samples can be performed with the Shimadzu ICP-9820 to ensure meeting all the criteria established in ASTM D5185. Carbon build-up on the torch is minimized allowing analysis of samples without an additional flow of oxygen and its vacuum-purged optical bench precludes the need for gas purge and reduces the start-up time. The successful analysis of oil samples showed the excellent precision and accuracy.
