Summary of Test Method4.1 Lubricant samples are acquired periodically from amachine or engine being monitored.4.2 Particles are counted and sized by drawing oil through aflow cell. See Fig. 1. The cell is illuminated by a pulsed laser.The duration of

Images of the particles flowing through the cell aremagnified by 4 using a lens between the cell and the CCDvideo chip onto which the images of the particles are focused.Software counts and

The total oil volume examin

26、ed is the volume perimage multiplied by the number of images collected.4.3 The direct imaging integrated tester software performsparticle shape recognition of all particles $ 20 m by using aneural network. An algorithm sorts particles into the followingcategories: cutting, fatigue, severe sliding, n

27、onmetallic, fibers,air bubbles and water droplets. Air bubbles and water droplets$ 20 m are eliminated from the particle counting results.Further information regarding wear particle shape recognitionmay be found in Andersons report.5.4.4 Nonmetallic particles are recognized by their partialtranspare

28、ncy. Nonmetallic particles, in thin sections, do notblock light, as do metallic particles. Therefore, particlesdisplaying transparent interior pixels are classified as nonme-tallic. Nontransparent particles are sorted into one of threemetallic categories, namely, cutting, sliding, and fatigue.4.5 Cu

29、tting wear particles are recognized by their elongated,curved, or curly shape.4.6 Sliding wear particles are recognized by being longerthan wide, often with straight edges.4.7 Fatigue particles are recognized by being more or less aslong as they are wide and often with jagged, irregular edges.4.8 Fi

30、bers are recognized by their elongated shape and bypartial transparency indicating nonmetallic composition.4.9 Air bubbles are dark round circles, either completelydark or with small bright centers.4.10 Water droplets are dark round circles with large brightcenters. The difference in appearance betw

31、een air bubbles andwater droplets is due to the much different refractive index ofeach. When present in oil, air bubbles refract much of the lightpassing through them away from the direction of transmission,whereas water droplets, having a refractive index more nearlyequal to that of oil, allow much

Significa

34、nce and Use5.1 This test method is intended for use in analyticallaboratories including on-site in-service oil analysis laborato-ries. Periodic sampling and analysis of lubricants have longbeen used as a means to determine overall machinery health.Atomic emission spectroscopy (AES) is often employed

35、 forwear metal analysis (Test Methods D5185 and D6595). Anumber of physical property tests complement wear metalanalysis and are used to provide information on lubricantcondition (Test Methods D445, D2896, D6304, and D7279).Molecular spectroscopy (Practice E2412) provides direct in-formation on mole

36、cular species of interest including additives,lubricant degradation products and contaminating fluids suchas water, fuel and glycol. The direct imaging integrated testerprovides complementary information on particle count, particlesize, particle type, and soot content.5.2 Particles in lubricating an

37、d hydraulic oils are detrimen-tal because they increase wear, clog filters and accelerate oildegradation.5.3 Particle count may aid in assessing the capability of afiltration system to clean the fluid, determine if off-linerecirculating filtration is needed to clean the fluid, or aid in thedecision

38、whether or not to change the fluid.5.4 An increase in the concentration and size of wearparticles is indicative of incipient failure or component changeout. Predictive maintenance by oil analysis monitors theconcentration and size of wear particles on a periodic basis topredict failure.5.5 High soot

39、 levels in diesel engine lubricating oil mayindicate abnormal engine operation.6. Interferences6.1 Dirty environmental conditions and poor handling tech-niques can easily contaminate the sample. Care must be takento ensure test results are not biased by introduced particles.6.2 Air bubbles 20 m may

40、be counted as particles givingfalse positive readings. Air bubbles $ 20 m are recognizedand automatically eliminated from the count. Mixing or agi-tating the sample introduces air bubbles into the oil, but thesereadily dissipate with ultra-sonication or vacuum degassing.6.3 Water droplets 20 m may b

41、e counted as particlesgiving false positive readings. If water droplets $ 20 m aredetected in a sample by the direct imaging integrated tester,there is reason to suspect water droplets 20 m are presentand have spuriously increased particle count. Small amounts ofwater in the sample may be negated by

42、 the use of watermasking solvent. See Appendix X1.6.4 Certain additives or additive by-products that are notfully dissolved in the oil, most notably polydimethylsiloxanedefoamant additive, are known to be present as soft particlesthat are not contaminants in the fluid system, but are counted asparti

43、cles by the direct imaging integrated tester. These may benegated by use of a diluting solvent. See Appendix X1.6.5 Samples with viscosity greater than approximately 150mm2/s at 40C when processed by the direct imaging inte-grated tester at room temperature (approximately 20C) mayflow through the te

49、he software was trained using particles generated by con-trolled wear modes under simulated conditions in a laboratoryusing wear testing equipment. Particles from actual in-serviceoil samples that appear similar in shape are classified into oneof the direct imaging integrated testers categories even thoughthe nature of the particles may be different. For example,nonmetallic particles may be classified into one of the threemetallic classes if the silhouette image captured by the CCDvideo camera contains no transparent interior pixels. Th
