Abstract:
The determination of elements in used and unused lubricating oils and base oils and rapid screening of used oils for wear-metals such as Fe, Cu, and Al is a common approach to monitoring wear in engine, gearbox, and other components.
The trace metals that enter these lubricating oils as mechanical wear from moving parts are likely to be present in the oil as metallic particles rather than dissolved in the oil; thus, it can be essential to homogenize each sample before analysis to ensure representative data.
This talk will discuss high throughput analysis of used lubricating oils using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and an Autosampler that homogenizes samples immediately before analysis, resulting in improved throughput and results.
