Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis practice describes the instrument set-u

3、p and operation parameters for using FT-IR spectrom-eters for in-service oil condition monitoring. The following parameters are typically monitored forpetroleum and hydrocarbon based lubricants: water, soot, oxidation, nitration, phosphate antiwearadditives, fuel dilution (gasoline or diesel), sulfa

4、te by-products and ethylene glycol. Measurement anddata interpretation parameters are standardized to allow operators of different FT-IR spectrometers toobtain comparable results by employing the same techniques. Two approaches may be used to monitorin-service oil samples by FT-IR spectrometry: (1)

5、direct trend analysis and (2) differential (spectralsubtraction) trend analysis. The former involves measurements made directly on in-service oilsamples, whereas the latter involves measurements obtained after the spectrum of a reference oil hasbeen subtracted from the spectrum of the in-service oil

It should be noted, however,that the continued use of the same reference oil after anytop-off of lubricant may lead to erroneous conclusions, unlessthe added lubricant is from the same lot and drum as thein-service oil. This possibility is averted if a sample of thein-serv

Significance and Use4.1 This practice describes to the end user how to collect theFT-IR spectra of in-service oil samples for in-service oilcondition m

23、onitoring. Various in-service oil condition moni-toring parameters, such as oxidation, nitration, soot, water,ethylene glycol, fuel dilution, gasoline dilution, sulfate by-products and phosphate antiwear additives, can be measured byFT-IR spectroscopy (5-8), as described in Practice E 2412.Changes i

24、n the values of these parameters over operating timecan then be used to help diagnose the operational condition ofvarious machinery and equipment and to indicate when an oilchange should take place. This practice is intended to give astandardized configuration for FT-IR instrumentation and op-eratin

25、g parameters employed in in-service oil condition moni-toring in order to obtain comparable between-instrument andbetween-laboratory data.5. Apparatus5.1 Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) SpectrometerAllFT-IR instruments suitable for use in this practice must beconfigured with a source, beamsplitte

26、r and detector suitable forspectral acquisition over the mid-infrared range of 4000 to 550cm-1. The standard configuration includes a room temperaturedeuterated triglycine sulfate (DTGS) detector, an air-cooledsource, and a germanium-coated potassium bromide (Ge/KBr)beamsplitter, although a zinc sel

27、enide (ZnSe) beamsplitter mayalso be used. The FT-IR spectrometers IR source and inter-ferometer should be in a sealed compartment to preventharmful, flammable or explosive vapors from reaching the IRsource.NOTE 1Photoconductive detectors such as mercury cadmium tellu-ride (MCT) should not be used o

28、wing to inadequate linearity of thedetector response.5.2 Sample CellThe sample cell employed for in-serviceoil condition monitoring is a transmission cell with a fixedpathlength that can be inserted in the optical path of the FT-IRspectrometer. Cell window material and cell pathlength con-sideration

29、s are stated below.5.2.1 Cell Window Material ZnSe is commonly used asthe window material for condition monitoring and is recom-mended because of its resistance to water. Sample cellsconstructed of materials other than ZnSe may be used; how-ever, to address all the various methods associated withcon

30、dition monitoring, the window material should transmit IRradiation over the range of 4000 cm-1to 550 cm-1. KCl andKBr are common cell window materials that meet this require-ment but these are water-soluble salts and should not be usedif oil samples containing moisture are frequently run throughthe

31、cell, as contact with water will cause the windows to fogand erode rapidly. In addition, Coates and Setti (4) have notedthat oil nitration products can react with KCl and KBrwindows, depositing compounds that are observed in thespectra of later samples. On the basis of this report, KCl andKBr window

32、s should not be used with samples of gasoline ornatural gas engine oils as well as other types of lubricantswhere nitration by-products may form due to the combustionprocess or other routes of nitration formation.5.2.1.1 When ZnSe is used as the window material, thereflections of the infrared beam t

33、hat occur at the inner faces ofthe windows cause fringes to be superimposed on the oilspectrum; these must be minimized using physical or compu-tational techniques as presented in Appendix X1. Because KCland KBr have lower refractive indices than ZnSe, the use ofthese window materials avoids observa

34、ble fringes in the oilspectrum.5.2.2 Cell PathlengthThe standard cell pathlength to beemployed for in-service oil condition monitoring is 0.100 mm;however, in practical terms, pathlengths ranging from 0.080 upto 0.120 mm are suitable, with values outside this range leadingto either poor sensitivity

35、or non-linearity of detector response,3The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to a list of references at the end ofthis standard.D7418072Copyright by ASTM Intl (all rights reserved); Wed Aug 27 03:39:12 EDT 2008Downloaded/printed byGuo Dehua (CNIS) pursuant to License Agreement.

The actual cell pathlength obtained can be deter-mined from the interference fringes in the spectrum recordedwith an empty cell or by recording the spectrum of a checkfluid; details for calculating cell pathlength are presented inAppendix X2. The reporting units of t

37、he various in-service oilcondition monitoring parameter test methods are based on apathlength of 0.100 mm (see the respective test methods).Accordingly, all data must be normalized to a pathlength of0.100 mm, either by multiplying all data points in the absorp-tion spectra by a pathlength correction

38、 factor (spectral normal-ization) or by multiplying the results of the respective testmethods by a pathlength correction factor (see 10.2). Thenormalization procedure is usually part of the software pro-vided by instrument manufacturers.NOTE 2For purposes of interlaboratory comparison of results, sp

39、ec-tral normalization should be performed.5.3 Filter (optional)The use of a particulate filter with amesh size of 0.100 mm or less to trap any large particlespresent in the sample is strongly recommended to prevent cellclogging.5.4 Sample Pumping System (optional)Apumping systemcapable of transporti

40、ng oil to be analyzed into the transmissioncell and of emptying and flushing the cell with solvent betweensamples may be used instead of manual cell loading. Commer-cial vendors offer various pumping systems that may differ inthe type of pump, tubing, and transmission cell. Depending onthe sample ha

41、ndling system employed and the viscosity of theoils analyzed, a wash/rinsing solvent may be run betweensamples to minimize sample-to-sample carryover as well askeep the cell and inlet tubing clean; commercial vendors mayrecommend specific solvent rinse protocols.5.4.1 Hydrocarbon Leak AlarmWhen a sa

42、mple pumpingsystem is used, an independent flammable vapor sensor andalarm system is strongly recommended The purpose of thisalarm system is to alert the operator when a leak occurs in thetubing, connectors or transmission cell.6. FT-IR Spectral Acquisition Parameters6.1 The spectral acquisition par

43、ameters are specified below.Because the spectral resolution, data spacing, and apodizationaffect the FT-IR spectral band shapes, these specifications mustbe adhered to:Spectral resolution: 4 cm-1Data spacing: 2 cm-1Apodization: TriangularScanning range: 4000 to 550 cm-1Spectral format: Absorbance as

44、 a function of wavenumber6.2 The number of scans co-added and hence the scan timewill depend on the desired spectral noise level (see Section 12),whereby an increase in scan time by a factor of N will decreasethe level of noise by a factor of N1/2.7. Sampling7.1 Sample AcquisitionThe objective of sa

45、mpling is toobtain a test specimen that is representative of the entirequantity. Thus, laboratory samples should be taken in accor-dance with the instructions in Practice D 4057.7.2 Sample PreparationFiltering the sample using a filterdescribed in 5.3 prior to loading the cell with the sample ishigh

46、ly recommended.8. Preparation and Maintenance of Apparatus8.1 Rinsing, Washing and Check SolventsA variety ofhydrophobic solvents may be used to clean the cell and rinsethe lines between samples as well as serving as a check fluid tomonitor pathlength. Typical solvents include hexanes, cyclo-hexane,

47、 heptane or odorless mineral spirits (OMS). Health andsafety issues on using, storing, and disposing of check orcleaning/wash solvents will not be covered here. Local regu-lations and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) should beconsulted.8.2 Sample Cell and Inlet FilterThe cell should be flushedwith

48、 the designated rinse/wash solvent at the start and end ofanalytical runs to clean the cell. Immediately following flush-ing of the cell, an absorption spectrum of the empty cell (see9.1.2.2) should be recorded to check for build-up of material onthe cell windows. If an inlet filter is used, the fil

49、ter shall also bechecked for particle build-up and its effect on sample flow rate.8.3 Check Fluid and Pathlength MonitoringThe purposeof a check fluid is to verify proper operation of the FT-IRspectrometer/transmission cell combination, as well as anyassociated sample introduction and cleaning hardware. It isrecommended that an absorption spectrum of the check fluid berecorded when a new or re-assembled cell is initially used andarchived to disk as a reference spectrum against which subse-quent spectra of the check fluid may be compared. Thespectrum of the check
