Investigation of the Feasibility of an Aircraft-Oil Analysis System for Operational Use in the Field, Phase 2
Abstract
Atomic absorption spectrometry and neutron activation analysis were chosen from the many methods available as the best for possible development into field measurement equipment for the analysis of metal content in oil. The spectrometry method appears to be the more suitable of the two using present-day techniques. Statistical studies of the R1820-86 engine oil analysis data were continued and showed that further work on evaluation of the data is needed in order to prove the merits of the oil analysis program. An experimental in- flight detector was designed. Further work is needed to improve the temperature stability of the circuit. Actual running tests are needed to prove its application and usefulness as in in-flight warning device.
