3、hange since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.INTRODUCTIONCosts associated with maintenance due to engine and machine wear can be significant. Therefore,diagnostic methods for determining the condition of engines and othe

4、r machinery can be important.This test method is intended to quantify, for the purpose of equipment monitoring, the concentrationof metals in used lubricating oils. Although the precision statement was determined by analyzing avariety of used oils this test method can, in principle, be used for the

Analytical results are particle size dependent, andlow results are

8、 obtained for particles larger than a fewmicrometers.21.5 Elements present at concentrations above the upper limitof the calibration curves can be determined with additional,appropriate dilutions and with no degradation of precision.1.6 For elements other than calcium, sulfur, and zinc, thelow limit

30、tandards are prepared in the same manner.An optional internal standard can be added to the solutions tocompensate for variations in test specimen introduction effi-ciency. The solutions are introduced to the ICP instrument byfree aspiration or an optional peristaltic pump. By comparingemission inten

31、sities of elements in the test specimen withemission intensities measured with the standards, the concen-trations of elements in the test specimen are calculable.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method covers the rapid determination of 22elements in used lubricating oils and in base oils, and it

32、provides rapid screening of used oils for indications of wear.Test times approximate a few minutes per test specimen, anddetectability for most elements is in the low mg/kg range. Inaddition, this test method covers a wide variety of metals invirgin and re-refined base oils. Twenty-two elements can

33、bedetermined rapidly, with test times approximating severalminutes per test specimen.5.2 When the predominant source of additive elements inused lubricating oils is the additive package, significant differ-ences between the concentrations of the additive elements andtheir respective specifications c

34、an indicate that the incorrect oilis being used. The concentrations of wear metals can beindicative of abnormal wear if there are baseline concentrationdata for comparison. A marked increase in boron, sodium, orpotassium levels can be indicative of contamination as a resultof coolant leakage in the

35、equipment. This test method can beused to monitor equipment condition and define when correc-tive actions are needed.5.3 The concentrations of metals in re-refined base oils canbe indicative of the efficiency of the re-refining process. Thistest method can be used to determine if the base oil meetss

36、pecifications with respect to metal content.6. Interferences6.1 SpectralCheck all spectral interferences expectedfrom the elements listed in Table 1. Follow the manufacturersoperating guide to develop and apply correction factors tocompensate for the interferences. To apply interference correc-tions

37、, all concentrations must be within the previously estab-lished linear response range of each element listed in Table1.(WarningCorrect profiling is important to reveal spectralinterferences from high concentrations of additive elements onthe spectral lines used for determining wear metals.)6.1.1 Spe

38、ctral interferences can usually be avoided byjudicious choice of analytical wavelengths. When spectralinterferences cannot be avoided, the necessary correctionsshould be made using the computer software supplied by theinstrument manufacturer or the empirical method describedbelow. Details of the emp

39、irical method are given in TestMethod C 1109 and by Boumans.4This empirical correctionmethod cannot be used with scanning spectrometer systemswhen both the analytical and interfering lines cannot be locatedprecisely and reproducibly. With any instrument, the analystmust always be alert to the possib

40、le presence of unexpectedelements producing interfering spectral lines.6.1.2 The empirical method of spectral interference correc-tion uses interference correction factors. These factors aredetermined by analyzing the single-element, high-purity solu-tions under conditions matching as closely as pos

41、sible thoseused for test specimen analysis. Unless plasma conditions canbe accurately reproduced from day to day, or for longerperiods, interference correction factors found to affect theresults significantly must be redetermined each time specimensare analyzed.6.1.3 Interference correction factors,

42、 Kia, are defined asfollows: For analyte a, we have:Ca 5 Ia/Ha (1)where:Ca = concentration of analyte a,Ia = net line intensity (that is, background corrected) ofanalyte a, andHa = sensitivity.6.1.3.1 Similarly, for an interferent i at the same wave-length:Ci 5 Ii/Hi (2)where:Ii = contribution from

43、the peak or wing of the interferentline to the peak intensity of the analyte a.6.1.3.2 The correction factor, Kia is defined as:Kia 5 Hi/Ha 5 Ii/Ci 3 Ha! (3)6.1.3.3 Analysis of high-purity stock solutions with a cali-brated instrument gives Ii/Ha, the concentration error thatresults when analyzing a

44、 solution containing an interferent ofconcentration Ci. Dividing by Ci gives the dimensionlesscorrection factor Kia. To apply these correction factors:Ca, apparent 5 Ia 1 Ii!/Ha (4)Ca, apparent 5 Ca 1 Ii/Ha (5)Ca 5 Ca, apparent 2 Ii/Ha (6)Ca 5 Ca, apparent 2 Kia * Ci (7)and, for more than one interf

45、erent:Ca 5 Ca, apparent 2 K1a 3 C1 2 K2a 3 C2 2 . (8)6.1.4 Interference correction factors can be negative ifoff-peak background correction is employed for element i.Anegative Kia can result when an interfering line is encounteredat the background correction wavelength rather than at the peakwavelen

46、gth.6.2 Viscosity EffectsDifferences in the viscosities of testspecimen solutions and standard solutions can cause differ-ences in the uptake rates. These differences can adversely affectthe accuracy of the analysis. The effects can be reduced byusing a peristaltic pump to deliver solutions to the n

47、ebulizer orby the use of internal standardization, or both. When severeviscosity effects are encountered, dilute the test specimen andstandard twenty-fold rather than tenfold while maintaining thesame concentration of the internal standard.4Boumans, P. W. J.

Use of a Babington type high-solids nebulizer helps to minimize this

49、effect. Also, thespecimen introduction system can limit the transport of par-ticulates, and the plasma can incompletely atomize particu-lates, thereby causing low results.7.
