Application of laser particle size analyzer in the field of lubricating oil

Lubricating oil undertakes important functions such as reducing mechanical friction and dissipating heat. It is an indispensable product in the development of modern industries such as heavy industry, military, aviation, and infrastructure construction. Determining the appropriate time to replace lubricating oil can not only reduce usage costs, but also prevent mechanical failures and serious accidents.

Usually, the metal elements in the oil represent mechanical wear, and the content of additive elements in the oil can also reflect the degradation of the oil in use. Therefore, both are important indicators for monitoring lubricants in use. In addition, particles in the oil are generally considered to be the main cause of mechanical wear. Therefore, it is generally necessary to monitor not only the element content of lubricating oil in use, but also the information on its particle number and particle size. We recommend the wet laser particle size analyzer Winner802 to test lubricating oil particle size distribution.
