34 Analytical Instrumentation Portable FTIR Oil Analysis
Lubrication is vital for machinery operation. Early detection of lube oil degradation and engine wear is essential for timely replacement. It helps avoid unnecessary maintenance while reducing the risk of breakdowns.
ERASPEC OIL from Eralytics (Austria) uses the economic infrared (IR) analysis test method to deliver specific information about the chemical condition of the lubricating oil. IR analysis also allows inferences about the state of the machine component from which the sample was taken. IR measurement is fast, provides reliable results and a large amount of information can be gained from an IR spectrum. Therefore, oil analysis laboratories use it as a routine method.
Compact and rugged (8 kg / 17.6 lb in a full aluminum housing), the ERASPEC OIL brings lab quality results to the field. It provides immediate feedback on in-service oil quality even at remote sites, where avoiding equipment breakdown is most critical.
With its patented rugged FTIR spectrometer the ERASPEC OIL is the first truly portable stand-alone analyser that offers all the advantages of latest FTIR technology for lubricant oil condition monitoring in full compliance with ASTM, DIN and JOAP methods directly on-site.
In order to show the great performance of the ERASPEC OIL, an extensive comparison study with two dedicated laboratory FTIR oil analysers, one system from Bruker Optics, the other system from Perkin Elmer, has been performed. Oil samples were taken from engines between several oil change intervals, one interval typically being 3000 hours of operation. The evaluation of the spectra for both the laboratory FTIRs and the ERASPEC OIL was done using latest ASTM standards incl.
ASTM E2412, D7412, D7414, D7414, D7418 an D7624. The comparison study showed an excellent correlation to both laboratory FTIR analysers for all measured parameters, like oxidation, nitration, sulphation, soot, water, fuel, etc.
ERASPEC OIL offers a built-in industry PC and a large full colour touch screen that allow the direct display of the oil spectra as graphic chart. Like this spectra are immediately analysed and compared with other spectra, as several thousand spectra can be saved in the internal instrument memory.

Laser Components (UK) supplies high quality fibre optic mirror reflectors from Eigenlight Corporation, which provide a high-reflectivity termination for calibrating return loss measurements. These mirror reflectors are housed in a standard connector body for convenience.
These FO mirror reflectors can be used in system configurations in conjunction with our ever popular optical power monitors, and the pocket-sized tools are useful for measuring a device or component’s sensitivity to back reflection, or for determining a transmitter’s return loss specifications. Mirror reflectors are available in all standard connector types.

Modern laboratories are looking for versatile analysers, capable of running all kinds of samples. Following the ASTM methods for Nitrogen & Sulphur combustion analysis, customers are forced to treat the sample by selecting a proper introduction module (e.g. solids boat, liquid boat, direct liquid and direct LPG/Gas).
Traditionally it has been a tedious task to prepare the analyser when a specific ASTM requires exchange of the introduction module. Those tend to be very hot, connection clamps have to be removed and carrier gas tightness has to be established again and again….a lot of time is spent to verify all relevant parameters before running the next sample.
The Xplorer series has no connection clamps. One single pc command retracts the liquid module from the analyser enabling fast and safe exchange to any other module, e.g. for solids. Full exchange within 60 seconds.
Trace Elemental Instruments (Netherlands) proves maximum flexibility, sample versatility and true unattended analysis for manual or autosampler configurations. Running various sample matrices has become a real pleasure again.
