ASTM D7418 Test Method for Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectrometers for In-Service Oil Condition Monitoring

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D7418 testing. This app covers instrument setup and operating parameters for using FT-IR spectrometers for in-service oil condition monitoring for both direct trend analysis and differential trend analysis approaches.

This application explains to the end user how to collect FT-IR spectra of in-service oil samples to monitor in-service oil condition. Various in-service oil condition monitoring parameters such as oxidation, nitration, soot, water, ethylene glycol, fuel dilution, gasoline dilution, sulfate by-products and phosphate antiwear additives can be measured with FT-IR spectroscopy.

Changes in the values ​​of these parameters during the runtime can then be used to help diagnose the operating condition of various machinery and equipment and to indicate when an oil change should be made. This application aims to provide a standard configuration for FT-IR instrumentation and operating parameters used in in-service oil condition monitoring to obtain inter-instrumental and inter-laboratory comparable data.

Values ​​stated in SI units will be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
