Lubricating oil metal tester –XRF fluorescence spectrometer Compass4294
XRF fluorescence spectrometer Compass4294 determines wear metals in lubricating oil
introduction
Five key applications for elemental analysis of petrochemical products are typically done with energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) instrumentation:
Mixture control of fresh lubricants and control of Additive packages: The key additive elements for lubricant and additive package analysis are Mg, P, S, Cl, Ca, Zn, and Mo, and in this application, the analytical method chosen is fully compliant with ASTM D7751,1

Waste oil analysis: In addition to the main additive elements, other important elements are AI,Si, K, Ti,V,Cr,Mn,Fe,Ni, Cu,Sn, Sb and Pb.
Sulfur in crude oil distillates: The main element of interest in diesel and gasoline is sulfur. Sulfur comes from the oil refining process. In Europe, the actual regulation for sulfur in motor fuels is <10 ppm. Heating oil contains higher levels of sulfur (up to 1000 ppm).
Sulfur and trace elements in crude and heavy fuel oils: V. Ni and Fe: porphyrin structures derived from organic materials. Si and Al: Derived from refining processes. Na, CI, K, and Mg: indicates seawater pollution Ca, Zn, and P: indicates waste oil pollution.
Distillate burner fuel for source white waste mineral oil: Elements of interest include determination of total halogens (Cl and Br) and potentially toxic metals (determination of V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd), Sb, Hg, Ti, and Pb). l

The report explains that the Compass4294 compass has the required accuracy to determine the key elements of the analysis of lubricant/gasoline chemical products and additives within the required operating range.
Due to its rugged design, the Compass 4294 analysis system is suitable for use in a wide range of petrochemicals, from gasoline and diesel to lubricant and fuel oil samples. EDXRF technology allows accurate percent and below percent analysis in 100 seconds, and operates at a very low cost and without sample preparation.
Compass 4294S provides a cost-effective maintenance management tool that is specifically designed to reduce operating costs and total cost of ownership and yields a return on investment within months
With its optimal excitation and detection limits, Compass 4294 achieves a level of sensitivity not available with ED-XRF methods. It enables precise trace element analysis for all other relevant applications: waste oil analysis, heavy fuel analysis, recycled fuel analysis and 1 oil analysis
