A GAS-LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHIC METHOD OF ANALYSIS FOR SYNTHETIC TURBINE ENGINE LUBRICANTS.

Abstract

The objective of the project was to develop a gas-liquid chromatographic method of analysis for synthetic gas turbine engine lubricants. The selection of a liquid phase from commercially available materials was made by chromatographically determining the highest column efficiencies and resolutions of representative esters at different temperatures. Solid support was coated with the selected liquid phase, OV-17, and then packed into an analytical column for lubricant analyses. Because compositions of current synthetic lubricants are proprietary, a simulated lubricant of appropriate materials was prepared and chromatographically analyzed for demonstration of chromatographic capability. These data and other chromatographic data obtained on synthetic lubricants have shown that synthetic lubricant base stocks and additives can be quantitatively analyzed with the chromatographic methods as described. Method limitations and recommendations are given. (Author)
