Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method uses FT-I

23、R spectrometry to monitornitration levels in in-service petroleum and hydrocarbon-basedlubricants. The FT-IR spectra of in-service oil samples arecollected according to the protocol for either direct trendanalysis or differential trend analysis described in PracticeD7418, and the levels of nitration

24、 are measured using the peakheight measurements described herein.5. Significance and Use5.1 There is a wide variety of nitration compounds that maybe produced and accumulate when oils react with gaseousnitrates formed during the engine combustion process. Thesenitration products may increase the vis

25、cosity, acidity andinsolubles in the oil, which may lead to ring sticking and filterplugging. Monitoring of nitration products is therefore animportant parameter in determining overall machinery healthand should be considered in conjunction with data from othertests such as atomic emission (AE) and

26、atomic absorption (AA)spectroscopy for wear metal analysis (Test Method D5185),physical property tests (Test Methods D445, D6304, andD2896), and other FT-IR oil analysis methods for oxidation(Test Method D7414), sulfate by-products (Test MethodD7415), additive depletion (Test Method D7412), and brea

27、k-down products and external contaminants (Practice E2412),which also assess elements of the oils condition. (1-6)6. Interferences6.1 Very high water levels can interfere with the nitrationmeasurement.6.2 Conjugated ketones, quinones, unsaturated carboxylicacids and carboxylic acid salts (formed due

28、 to the reaction ofacids with overbased oil additives) are also sources of inter-ference.6.3 Some aromatic compounds may interfere as well.7.

The efficacy of theflushing protocol may be assessed by consecutively analyzingan oil having a low (or zero) nitration level (L1, for example,a fresh oil) and a used oil sample having a high nitration level(H1) followed by a second run of the oil sample

37、 having a lownitration level (L2) and then calculating the percent carryover(PC) as follows:PC 5 L2L1!/H13100 (3)where L1, H1, and L2 are the values measured for nitration(using the parameters given in Table 1) for the samples run inthe indicated sequence. The calculated PC should be 5 %.12. Report1

38、2.1 TrendingData shall be recorded and reported atselected time intervals during the lubricants life. Ideally,nitration values would be compared to that of the newlyformulated oil and plotted over time to visualize the relativechanges in nitration and to determine when there needs to be anoil change

39、, albeit other parameters may dictate this changeearlier. Sampling and reporting time intervals for nitration arebased on the type of machinery and its previous historyassociated with this parameter.12.2 Statistical Analysis and Alarm LimitsFor statisticalanalysis and setting alarm limits, refer to

40、Practice E2412,Section A3, “Distribution Profiles and Statistical Analysis.”12.3 Effects of Oil FormulationThe compositions of vari-ous oil formulations can have an effect on the results reportedfor nitration value, and values from two different oil formula-tions should not be compared. Results shou
