How to Quantify Severity of Wear and Contamination with a Filtergram

How to Quantify Severity of Wear and Contamination with a Filtergram

Introduction This white paper reports diesel engine oil analysis data demonstrating use of filtergram particle quantifier x-ray fluorescence (FPQ spectroscopy) to quantify severity of wear and contamination. Two independent measurements are performed on each filtergram specimen: pore blockage particle count and FPQ spectroscopic large particle elemental analysis. Causal inflections in ASTM ...
