Rating engine wear by determining content of metals in oils

  • Chemmotology of Fuels and Lubricants
  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

Summary

  1. 1.

    Simple and reliable photocolorimetric methods are proposed for determining the contents of copper, iron, aluminum, and chromium in used engine oils.

  2. 2.

    The use of the recommended methods makes it feasible not only to determine the wear rate, but also to follow the dynamics of engine-part wear in evaluating the service properties of engine oils.

  3. 3.

    The proposed methods do not require any special-purpose equipment and can be used in any plant laboratory to evaluate the antiwear properties of various grades of engine oils.
