Tooptimize the sensitivity for each element or group of elements,a combination of optimized excitation and detection conditionsmay be used (no more than two conditions should be used in

There may be a correction of measuredintensities for spectral overlap.4.1.1 Concentrations of the elements of interest are deter-mined by comparison of these intensities against a calibrationcurve using a fundamental

18、parameters (FP) approach, possiblycombined with corrections from backscatter. The FP approachuses the physical processes forming the basis of X-ray fluo-rescence emission in order to provide a theoretical model forthe correction of matrix effects. The correction term is calcu-lated from first princi

Eachcalibration line and any co

The operator needs to takeappropriate actions to avoid exposing any part of their body,not only to primary X-

22、rays, but also to secondary or scatteredradiation that might be present. The X-ray spectrometer shouldbe operated in accordance with the regulations governing theuse of ionizing radiation.)5. Significance and Use5.1 Lubricating oils are formulated with organo-metallicadditives, which act, for exampl

23、e, as detergents, antioxidants,antifoaming, or antiwear agents, or a combination thereof.Some of these additives contain one or more of the followingelements: magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, calcium,zinc, and molybdenum. This test method provides a means ofdetermining the concentrations of

24、these elements, which in turnprovides an indication of the additive content of these oils.5.2 Additive packages are the concentrates that are used toblend lubricating oils.5.3 This test method is primarily intended to be used for themonitoring of additive elements in lubricating oils.5.4 If this tes

25、t method is applied to lubricating oils withmatrices significantly different from the calibration materialsspecified in this test method, the cautions and recommenda-tions in Section 6 should be observed when interpreting theresults.6. Interferences6.1 The additive elements found in lubricating oils

26、 willaffect the measured intensities from the elements of interest toa varying degree. In general the X-radiation emitted by theelement of interest can be absorbed by itself (self-absorption)or by the other elements present in the sample matrix. Also theX-radiation emitted from one element can furth

27、er excite(enhance) another element. These inter-element effects aresignificant at concentrations varying from 0.03 mass %, due tothe higher atomic number elements (for example, molybde-num), to 1 mass %, for the lower atomic number elements (forexample, sulfur). If an element is present at significa

28、nt con-centrations and an inter-element correction for that element isnot employed, the results can be low due to absorption or highdue to enhancement.6.2 Absorption and enhancements effects will be correctedby corrections from the FP approach or by other matrixcorrection models.6.3 There can be spe

It is also recommendedthat proper practices be followed as presented by most manu-factures documentation or described in Guide E1621.10. Sampling and T

48、est Specs and Units10.1 Samples shall be taken in accordance with the instruc-tions in Practices D4057 or D4177. For sample handling, alsorefer to Practice D7343.10.2 When reusable sample cells are used, clean and drycells before each use. Disposable sample cells shall not bereused. For each sample,

49、 an unused piece of X-ray film isrequired for the sample cell. Avoid touching the inside of thesample cell, the portion of the window film in the cell, or theinstrument window that is exposed to X-rays. Oil fromfingerprints can affect the reading when determining low levelsof analytes. Wrinkles in the film will affect the intensity of theX-rays transmitted, therefore, it is essential that the film be tautand clean to ensure reliable results. When handling the windowfilm, avoid touching the central part (the part that actuallyforms the optical window) as this
