Degradation Analysis of Lubricants Based on ASTM E2412 by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer FTIR

Lubricants are degraded by oxidation, consumption of additives, and accumulation of sludge. Because degradation of lubricants shortens the life of engines and causes operational problems, it is necessary to grasp the condition of degradation and carry out oil changes at the proper timing. The relevant ASTM standard provides a method for evaluating lubricants based on various parameters. It is possible to evaluate chemical changes such as oxidation, nitration, and sulfonation of lubricants and contamination by moisture and dust by FTIR.
