Development and implementation of the NMR-spectrometer on the basis of the National Instruments technologies

摘要

The quality of lubricating oil in mechanical engineering, technology of creation of units, in particular in equipment of transmission gears, is a factor which considerably defines reliability and safety of the whole propulsion system or the greased constructive components. There are many soluble oil additives such as, for example, different additives for extreme compression conditions or additives against wear. Additives are used with mineral oils, products from mineral oils or synthetic oils for lubricant action or chemical properties improvement. The most exact way of definition of the chemical composition of a substance at the moment is the method of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). In the first section of this article, a brief and very simplified review of the NMR basic principles using classical physics is provided. The second section is focused on the description of the hardware solutions and the architecture of the NMR spectrometers. The software developments (LabVIEW programs) of the data-acquisition and signal processing techniques are presented in the third section. At the end, results of measurements are provided.
