Summary of Test Method3.1 The X-ray fluores

17、cence spectrometer is initially cali-brated by the following procedure. For each element, the slopeand intercept of the calibration curve are determined byregressing concentration data and intensities measured on a setof physical standards. Empirical alphas can also be determinedby regression when t

18、he appropriate set of physical standards isused for calibration. Theoretical alphas, calculated with specialsoftware, can also be used. In addition, a combination oftheoretical and empirical alphas can be used.3.2 Asample is placed in the X-ray beam, and the intensitiesof the appropriate fluorescenc

19、e lines are measured. A similarmeasurement is made at a wavelength offset from eachfluorescence line in order to obtain a background correction.Enhancement or absorption of the X-ray fluorescence of ananalyte by an interfering element in the sample can occur, andthese effects can be handled in the d

20、ata reduction by imple-mentation of alphas. Concentrations of the analytes are deter-mined by comparison of net signals against calibration curves,which include influence coefficients (that is, alphas) calculatedfrom theory, empirical data, or a combination of theory andempirical data.4. Significanc

21、e and Use4.1 Lubricating oils can be formulated with additives, whichcan act as detergents, anti-oxidants, anti-wear agents, and soforth. Some additives can contain one or more of calcium,copper, magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, and zinc. This testmethod can be used to determine if the oils, additives

22、, andadditive packages meet specification with respect to content ofthese elements.4.2 Several additive elements and their compounds areadded to the lubricating oils to give beneficial performance(Table 3).4.3 This test method can also be used to determine iflubricating oils, additives, and additive

23、 packages meet specifi-cation with respect to chlorine concentration. In this context,specification can refer to contamination.4.4 This test method is not intended for use on samples thatcontain some component that significantly interferes with theanalysis of the elements specified in the scope.4.5

24、This test method can complement other test methods forlube oils and additives, including Test Methods D4628, D4927,D4951, and D5185.5. Interferences5.1 The additive elements can affect the magnitudes of themeasured intensities for each analyte. In general, theX-radiation emitted by each analyte can

25、be absorbed by theother elements.Also, the X-radiation emitted by an analyte canbe enhanced by some other component. The magnitudes of theabsorption and enhancement effects can be significant.However, implementation of accurately determined alphas inthe set of calibration parameters can satisfactori

26、ly correct forabsorption and enhancement effects, thereby making this testmethod quantitative.5.2 Molybdenum lines can spectrally overlap lines ofmagnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine. Lead lines canspectrally overlap sulfur. Thus, this test method cannot beapplied if molybdenum or lead are pr

27、esent at significantconcentrations and if accurate overlap corrections cannot bemade.5.3 When a large d-spacing diffraction structure containingsilicon is used as the analyzing crystal, corrections for thefluorescence of silicon may be needed. Calcium X rays fromsample specimens cause silicon to flu

28、oresce. This siliconradiation contributes to fluctuations in the background formagnesium measurements. If the effect is significant, thisinterference may be treated as a line overlap due to calcium.6. Apparatus6.1 X-ray Spectrometer, equipped for detection of soft X-rayradiation in the range from 1

29、to 10 angstroms. For optimumsensitivity, the spectrometer is equipped with the following:6.1.1 X-ray Tube Source, with chromium, rhodium, orscandium target. Scandium can be advantageous for sensitivityenhancement of the low atomic number analytes. Other targetsmay also be employed. Avoid spectral in

30、terferences from tubelines on the analyte lines.6.1.2 Helium, purgeable optical path.6.1.3 Interchangeable Analyzer Crystals, germanium,lithium fluoride (LiF200), graphite, pentaerythritol (PE), or a 50angstrom diffraction structure, or a combination thereof. Othersuitable crystals can be used.4Avai
