This guide presentsguidelines for the lubricant professionals using voltammetrictechniques as part of their regular maintenance strategies, suchas data interpretation, oil analysis frequency, combination withother condition monitoring tests, etc.4. Summary of Linear Sweep Voltammetric (L
22、SV) TestMethod4.1 Linear Sweep Voltammetric (LSV) test can be per-formed on any type of industrial lubricant containing at leastone type of antioxidant. The voltammetric test is a comparativetest method. By establishing a comparison between its refer-ence oil (fresh oil or standard) and its used oil
23、, this guide canbe used without the specific knowledge on the category towhich the antioxidants belong.4.2 ASTM International has two standards, Test MethodD6810 and D6971, that shall enable the measurement of theremaining phenolic and aminic type of antioxidants. Nostandard test method has been dev
24、eloped for the detection ofother type of antioxidants by linear voltammetry, althoughLSV also has detection capabilities for these types of second-ary antioxidants (such as zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates).54.3 A measured quantity of sample is dispensed into a vialcontaining a measured quantity of a s
25、elected test solution andcontaining a layer of sand. When the vial is shaken, theantioxidants and other solution soluble oil components presentin the sample are extracted into the electrolytic test solutionand the remaining droplets suspended in the test solution areagglomerated by the sand. The san
26、d/droplet suspension isallowed to settle out and the antioxidants dissolved in the testsolution are quantified by voltammetric analysis. The resultsare calculated and reported as mass percent of antioxidant or asmillimoles (mmol) of antioxidant per litre of sample forprepared and fresh oils and as a
27、 percent remaining antioxidantfor in-service oils.4.4 Voltammetric analysis is a technique that applies elec-troanalytic methods wherein a sample to be analyzed is mixedwith an electrolyte and a solvent (acetone or ethanol based),and placed within an electrolytic cell. Data is obtained bymeasuring t
28、he current passing through the cell as a function ofthe potential applied, and test results are based upon current,voltage and time relationships at the cell electrodes. The cellconsists of a fluid container into which is mounted a small,easily polarized working electrode, and a large non-polarizabl
29、ereference electrode. The reference electrode should be massiverelative to the working electrode so that its behavior remainsessentially constant with the passage of small current; that is, itremains unpolarized during the analysis period. Additionalelectrodes, auxiliary electrodes, can be added to
30、the electrodesystem to eliminate the effects of resistive drop for highresistance solutions. In performing a voltammetric analysis, thepotential across the electrodes is varied linearly with time, andthe resulting current is recorded as a function of the potential.As the increasing voltage is applie
31、d to the prepared samplewithin the cell, the various additive species under investigationwithin the oil are caused to electrochemically oxidize. The datarecorded during this oxidation reaction can then be used todetermine the remaining useful life of the oil type. A typicalcurrent-potential curve pr
32、oduced during the practice of thevoltammetric test can be seen by reference to Fig. 1. Initiallythe applied potential produces an electrochemical reactionhaving a rate so slow that virtually no current flows through thecell. As the voltage is increased, as shown in Fig. 1, theelectroactive species (
33、for example, substituted phenols) beginto oxidize at the working electrode surface, producing ananodic rise in the current. As the potential is further increased,the decrease in the electroactive species concentration at theelectrode surface and the exponential increase of the oxidationrate lead to
34、a maximum in the current-potential curve shown inFig. 1.5.

For in-service oils, theLSV determines and compares the amount of original primaryantioxidants rem

39、 oxi-dative stressing of the oils, which are recognized as havingsome contribution to the remaining useful life of the used orin-service oil. In order to measure the overall stability of an oil(including contribution of intermediates present), and beforemaking final judgment on the remaining useful
40、life of the usedoil (which might result in the replacement of the oil reservoir),it is advised to perform additional analytical techniques (inaccordance with Practice D4378 and Practice D6224).5.4 This guide is applicable to a wide range of industrialoils, both mineral or synthetic based, which can
41、contain rustand oxidation inhibitors, antiwear additives such as zincdialkyl dithiophosphates on gear oils, circulating oils, trans-mission oils and other industrial lubricating oils.5.5 The test is also suitable for manufacturing control andspecification acceptance.5.6 When a voltammetric analysis
42、is obtained for a indus-trial lubricant inhibited with at least one type of antioxidant,there is an increase in the current of the produced voltammo-gram between 5 to 8 s (or 0.5 to 0.8 V applied voltage) (seeNote 1) for the zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate type of antioxidant(Fig. 1), an increase in th

There is no correspondingASTM Inte
