Determining the oxidation stability of lubricating oils using sealed capsule differential scanning calorimetry (SCDSC)

摘要: Oxidative degradation of mineral oil based lubricants has increasingly been an area important research. Oil deterioration leads to changes in its chemical and physical properties which ultimately affect equipment performance. Therefore, order save costs reduce environmental impact it is optimize a lubricant's renewal time. In this study, criteria were developed assess the remaining useful life range commercially available using technique sealed capsule differential scanning calorimetry. These results then correlated with infrared analysis resulting series safe/unsafe zone maps reflect oxidative condition lubricant at given Further refinement application industrially degraded oils will enable monitoring programme be developed.
