28、1).4. Summary of Practice4.1 Periodic samples are acquired from the engine ormachine being monitored. An infrared absorbance spectrum ofthe sample is acquired, typically covering the range of4000 cm1to 550 cm1, with sufficient signal-to-noise (S/N)ratio to measure absorbance areas of interest. Exact

29、 dataacquisition parameters will vary depending on instrumentmanufacturer but most systems should be able to collect anabsorbance spectrum adequate for most measurements in lessthan one minute. Features in the infrared spectrum indicative ofthe molecular level components of interest (1,2) (that is,

30、water,fuel, antifreeze, additive, degradation, and so forth) are mea-sured and reported. Condition alerts and alarms can then betriggered according to both the level and the trends from themonitored system.5. Significance and Use5.1 Periodic sampling and analysis of lubricants have longbeen used as

31、a means to determine overall machinery health.Atomic emission (AE) and atomic absorption (AA) spectros-copy are often employed for wear metal analysis (for example,Test Method D5185). A number of physical property testscomplement wear metal analysis and are used to provideinformation on lubricant co

32、ndition (for example, Test MethodsD445, D2896, and D6304). Molecular analysis of lubricantsand hydraulic fluids by FT-IR spectroscopy produces directinformation on molecular species of interest, includingadditives, fluid breakdown products and external contaminants,and thus complements wear metal an

33、d other analyses used in acondition monitoring program (1,3-2).6. Apparatus6.1 Required Components:6.1.1 Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FT-IR)Instrument is configured with a source, beamsplitter anddetector to adequately cover the mid-infrared range of4000 cm1to 550 cm1. Most work has been

Alternate source, beam-splitter and detector c

36、ombinations covering this range arecommercially available but have not been investigated for usein this practice. Other detectors may be suitable but should beused with caution. In particular, liquid nitrogen cooled Mer-cury Cadmium Telluride (MCT) detectors are known to exhibitsignificant nonlinear

37、ities.6.1.2 Infrared Liquid Transmission Sampling CellSampling cells can be constructed of zinc selenide (ZnSe),barium fluoride (BaF2), potassium bromide (KBr), or othersuitable window material, with a pathlength of 0.1 mm(100 m), parallel ( 3 % to 5 % w/w solids). As acondition limit (soot) has alr

38、eady triggered, action should betaken irrespective of water. Exact quantitative measurement ofsoot is difficult (that is, % ww) due to multiple infraredcontributing factors as well as the many different soot mea-surement methods available.A1.2.2 Soot:A1.2.2.1 Soot loading is measured from the baseli

39、ne offsetat 2000 cm1as described in TableA1.1. Fig.A1.2 shows someexamples of spectra showing low, intermediate, high and veryhigh soot loading levels (increasing levels from 1 through 5).A1.2.2.2 Soot InterferenceHigh water levels have beenobserved to interfere with the measurement of soot in inter

40、nalcombustion engine crankcases. However, this interference doesnot become significant until the water level is on the order of5 % (50 000 ppm), levels which will immediately condemnthe lubricant and require immediate maintenance action irre-spective of any other indicators.A1.2.3 Oxidation, Nitrati

41、on and Sulfation:A1.2.3.1 Unlike the previous examples, oxidation, nitrationand sulfation breakdown products in crankcase oils cannot beeasily quantified by comparison to pure prepared standards.Here, there are a large number of different oxidation andnitration compounds that can be produced and gra

42、dually buildup in the oil. Fig. A1.3 shows the measurement areas foroxidation and nitration product buildup monitoring, with thesulfation region highlighted in Fig. A1.4.A1.2.3.2 Oxidation, Nitration and SulfationInterferencesAs in the soot measurement, very high waterlevels can generate false posit

43、ives for oxidation and nitration.However, water levels of this magnitude will immediatelycondemn the lubricant. Very high (5 %) glycol levels in acrankcase oil may start interfering with sulfation measurement,but again contaminant levels of this magnitude would dictateimmediate maintenance action. V

44、arious additive packages,such as detergents, dispersants, antioxidants, overbaseadditives, etc. may also generate significant absorbance in thecondition monitoring regions of interest. Blends of petroleumlubricants with significant amounts of ester, whether part of thebase-stock package or as an add

45、itive, will absorb strongly inthe oxidation area. These lubricants are not presented at thistime.A1.2.4 Fuel Contamination:A1.2.4.1 The possibility of fuel contamination may beindicated in diesel crankcase lubricants by measuring the peakat 810 cm-1. Spectral characteristics of diesel (Figs. A1.5 an

46、dA1.6) and other fuels noted in Table A1.1 have been found tovary. Work is currently active on other IR measurement areasand techniques. The measurement listed can be used as aguideline but is not intended to be the only infrared based fuelcontamination measurement. An independent test, such asvisco

47、sity change, flash point, or gas chromatography can beused to confirm an indication of fuel presence in the FT-IRspectrum of the oil.A1.2.5 Glycol Antifreeze Contamination:A1.2.5.1 Glycol contamination is monitored in diesel crank-case lubricants by measuring the carbon-oxygen stretch regionas noted

48、 in Table A1.1. Spectral characteristics of glycolcontamination are shown in Fig. A1.6.A1.2.5.2 Ethylene glycol will interfere with the ability toaccurately quantify water level when present since it alsocontains hydroxyl groups. However, the converse is not truesince glycol has other spectral featu

49、res that are used fordetection and quantification. Therefore, when glycol is present,water can be detected but not reliably quantified using FT-IRspectroscopy. This is not considered a problem because of thegreater significance the presence of glycol has to engineoperation. As with fuel, the presence of glycol can be con-firmed by gas chromatography or a colorimetric test, or morecommonly, corroborated using elemental analysis results forsodium and boron.A1.3 Extreme Pressure (EP) Fluids (Typically PetroleumGear or Hydraulic Fluids):A1.3.1 In addition to the
