Compliant Analysis of Additives in Unused Lubricating Oils

Compliancy to increasingly stringent environmental requirements, like the ASTM D6481 test method, is a must for producers of lubrication oils. Measurement precision is a key requirement of ASTM D6481. Epsilon 1 from PANalytical (Netherlands) for lubricating oil analysis easily meets the requirements set in the test method and produces fast, cost-effective, precise and accurate data with minimal operator dependence and sample preparation.

Total costs of ownership are typically less than for techniques such as AAS, ICP and wet chemical methods that additionally require a dedicated skilled operator.

Epsilon 1 for lubricating oil analysis comes pre-calibrated and is the ideal analysis solution for phosphorus, sulphur, calcium and zinc in unused lubricating oils. A NIST traceable validation sample for additives in unused lubricating oils enables you to independently verify the pre-calibration.
