Fast and accurate wear metal analysis of oil with no sample preparation
Debris determination in used oil is a major diagnostic practice in condition monitoring programs. Increase of specific wear metal concentration or the presence can be an indication of wear. Presence of foreign materials in lubricants like sand or other elements can lead to a degradation in lubrication. Modern lubricating oils are a complex mixture of organometallic compounds added to the base oil to improve anti-wear and anti-oxidative characteristics. The decrease in their concentration can…
