DEVELOPMENT OF SCHEMATIC ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES FOR SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS AND THEIR ADDITIVES

摘要

Methods for the separation, identification, and determination of certain components of synthetic greases and synthetic lubricants are presented and discussed. Included in these components are such base-oils as dibasic acid esters, silicate esters, disiloxanes, and silicone oils, and selenide and phenol type antioxidants.nPreparation of the laboratory manual, an outline of the analytical methods in the manual, and a list of ASTM methods included in whole or in part in the manual are discussed briefly. The manual itself, resulting from two and one-half years research for WADC under Contracts AF 33(616)-2204 and AF 33(616)-3336, is Part IV of this report.
