12 Feb, 2025

Energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) is a powerful technology that helps lubricant manufacturers ensure the quality and compliance of their products. EDXRF offers a compelling alternative to traditional methods for analysing the elemental composition of lubricating oil formulations and blends.

The Rigaku NEX CG II EDXRF analyser is designed to meet the needs of lubricant manufacturers seeking compliance with ASTM D7751.

The NEX CG II offers several advantages. It delivers high-quality results that meet the requirements of ASTM D7751, ensuring reliable outcomes. The system significantly reduces analysis time compared to traditional methods, enhancing turnaround time and efficiency. With a user-friendly interface and minimal sample preparation, it is accessible to operators of all expertise levels. Utilizing EDXRF, a non-destructive technique, the NEX CG II preserves samples for further testing, enabling comprehensive analysis. Additionally, it reduces standards requirements and sampling costs, making it a cost-effective solution for your operations.

The NEX CG II elemental analyser also features user-defined Matching Libraries, empowering users to fine-tune analysis for specific lube oil formulations. By creating custom libraries based on customers unique product range, users can achieve even greater accuracy and control over their blends while reducing standards requirements.   

Apart from ensuring compliance with ASTM D7751, NEX CG II offers a range of benefits that can significantly enhance your lube oil blending operations. The NEX CG II is powerful enough for expert use in commercial labs and R&D facilities developing new formulations. The NEX CG II provides quick quality control and in-service testing and other industry standards including P, S, Ca, and Zn in lubrication oils per ASTM D6481-14(2019).
