Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the analysis of Carbon and Nitrogen in lubricants using the ECS 8020 instrument in CHNS mode. This analysis is crucial for understanding the performance and behavior of lubricants in engines and machines.

Specifications
The ECS 8020 instrument is configured for CN analysis with two furnaces and a pneumatic sampler. Acetanilide is used as the chemical standard.

Procedures
The analysis involves converting oils into gases to detect Carbon and Nitrogen. This method is aligned with recognized standards such as ASTM-D5291.

Data and Results
Key parameters include:
  • Carbon: Average 87.2%, Standard deviation 0.40, Average Accuracy 0.46%
  • Nitrogen: Average 0.41%, Standard deviation 0.01, Average Accuracy 2.44%
All values are reported in percentage.

Applications
This analysis helps industries and laboratories monitor lubricant dynamics. It can be combined with techniques like NMR or FTIR for comprehensive chemical analysis.

Application Note: Carbon and Nitrogen in Lubricants-2

The determination of Carbon and Nitrogen in lubricants or lube oils is one of the basic analysis made on these type of samples. The determination of such elements in materials, that seem homogeneous but sometimes are hard to be analyzed, can be made by several methods or recognized standard methods (e.g. ASTM-D5291). ECS8020 can easily analyze these samples by a complete conversion of oils in gases and the detection of target elements. Thanks to this analysis, industries and laboratories can monitor and handle the dynamics of lubricants performances and behavior in engine and machines. Analyses...
