The Curve Fitting of Portable Wear Metal Analysis.

Abstract

This thesis describes the curve fitting algorithm that the Portable Wear Metal Analyzer used for calculating concentrations in ppm and compares this with some alternative algorithms. Each algorithm considered fits a curve to the three standards used, which were 20%, 50%, and 100% of the full scale for all nine wear metals APL was used for all programs. Keywords: PW, Curves, Fitting, Rationals, Equation, Spectroscopy.
