Machinery Lubrication Oil Analysis

Are you seeking a fast and reliable method to analyze the elemental composition of your lubricating oils? Are you tired of expensive commercial standards that do not model your blends? Proper and safe operation of machinery depends on specific formulations, and users of these products must routinely monitor the fluids in use.

EDXRF allows you to monitor key elements like phosphorus, sulfur, calcium, and zinc, ensuring your lubricants meet optimal performance. With minimal sample preparation and intuitive software, Rigaku EDXRF spectrometers provide quick and accurate results for routine quality control, in-service testing, and research and development. They can also reduce standards requirements. Discover how EDXRF can help streamline the manufacturing of lube oil formulations and blends, as well as R&D and other uses.

Solutions for base lubes, complex lubes, and research

Quality control and quality assurance during the production of metalworking fluids (MWFs) and lubricants are essential. Monitoring in-service fluids is also critical. Rigaku EDXRF benchtops are excellent tools for monitoring and controlling the elemental composition of lube oils. They are compact and user-friendly for non-technical operators yet powerful enough for expert use in commercial labs and R&D facilities developing new formulations.

Explore the advantages of using Rigaku EDXRF for your needs:

Rapid, non-destructive multi-element capabilities for comprehensive analysis
Results in minutes for quick quality control and in-service testing
Simple operation with minimal to no sample preparation
Powerful and easy-to-use Matching Library software, reducing the number of required standards
Determination of additive elements in lubricating oils per ASTM D7751-16(2021)
Determination of P, S, Ca, and Zn in lubrication oils per ASTM D6481-14(2019)
