PearlTM: New and Used Motor and Hydraulic Oils
contributed by Specac |
The Pearl allows the quick, easy & highly repeatable IR spectral measurement of liquid samples.
FTIR ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY is an ideal analytical technique to characterise new, used and diluted motor oils, as well various other samples.
Service oils, like Castrol’s Magnatec engine oil, are designed to minimise wear-and-tear in engines.
After a while, the oils pick up elemental metals, soot and other contaminants which turn the fresh yellow oil into a dark and worn black.
IR spectral analysis can help determine which contaminants are present, as well as what kind of chemical degradation occurs in the oil.
