Efficient Ethylene Glycol Detection in Used Engine Oil
Ethylene glycol contamination in used engine oil is a critical indicator of coolant leakage and potential engine failure. Accurate and timely detection is essential for condition monitoring, preventive maintenance and failure analysis. Traditional methods such as ASTM D4291-98 are often labour intensive and time consuming, limiting sample throughput in routine laboratory environments.
The GAS Ethylene Glycol in Used Engine Oil Analyser provides a high throughput alternative based on gas chromatography with headspace sampling. Ethylene glycol is chemically derivatised in the autosampler vial, increasing its volatility and reducing polarity. After controlled incubation, a defined headspace volume is injected using a Triplus headspace autosampler. The analysis is performed on a single channel Thermo Trace GC1600, offering a cost effective, robust and reproducible solution for routine ethylene glycol determination in used engine oils.
