Lubricant Mineral Residue Testing
At Eurolab, our Lubricant Mineral Residue Testing service is a cornerstone of our chemical testing portfolio. This specialized analysis is designed to quantify the mineral content in lubricants, which is critical for ensuring product quality and compliance with industry standards.
The process begins with careful sample collection and preparation, which involves precise extraction methods tailored to the specific type of lubricant under test. Once prepared, these samples undergo instrumental analysis using advanced techniques such as Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICPOES) or Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). These instruments provide high-precision readings that help in determining the mineral content accurately.
The accuracy of our testing methods ensures reliability and consistency, making it easier for clients to make informed decisions regarding their lubricant formulations. Compliance with international standards such as ISO 18436:2017 is paramount in this service, ensuring that all results are aligned with accepted benchmarks.
The importance of mineral content testing cannot be overstated. Excessive mineral content can lead to corrosion, reduced lubricity, and decreased performance over time. Conversely, insufficient mineral content might compromise the protective properties of the lubricant, leading to premature wear and failure. By providing accurate and reliable data on mineral residue levels, Eurolab helps manufacturers maintain optimal product quality while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
In addition to raw data, our comprehensive reports also include a detailed breakdown of individual elements present in the sample along with their concentrations. This information is invaluable for R&D teams looking to optimize formulations or troubleshoot issues related to mineral content.
