Oil and Lubricants
Oils and lubricants have to fullfill different tasks in engineering. Beside lubrication they are needed to cool pistons in car engines and while metal milling, to protect against corrosion and to bind particles: Not an easy task at extreme temperatures and with high reliability! Additives are needed at an accurate concentration level. Elements with serious effects on product properties need to be excluded. Precise and reliable analysis of the element composition at the minor and trace level is the key for high product quality. X-ray fluorescense (XRF) is the most important analytical method for the analysis of additives and impurities, no matter if oils, greases or waxes need to be qualified.
Perfect Solution for process and quality control, research and development with X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF)
Bruker AXS has developed in close cooperation with industrial partners PETRO-QUANT to perfectly match the needs in petrochemical laboratories. Based on the world class wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometers (WDXRF) S4 PIONEER and S8 TIGER it provides quick and easy quantitative elemental analysis and produces accurate and precise analytical results straight out of the box. The unique universal calibration performs the general analysis of hydrocarbon matrices, such as oils and lubricants, as well as PETRO-QUANT supports petrochemical norms in compliance with international standards such as ASTM, DIN, IP or EN ISO.
Cost-effective solution for multielement analysis
The S2 RANGER HC, BRUKER AXS energydispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (EDXRF), is the right solution for multielement analysis of sodium (Na) to uranium (U) in any concentration from 100% down to ppm. Using the XFlash© detector the new S2 RANGER HC delivers the element sensitivities you need for ASTM and EPA regulatory compliance. It combines high analytical performance with easy operation.
