Fuel Soot Monitoring by Light Extinction Measurement (LEM)

Abstract

Fuel soot is the primary contaminant in diesel engine lubricants. Evolving emission regulations, engine designs and oil formulations are all centered around the control and retention of soot particles and advanced gel formations. Accurate, reliable and cost effective measurement of soot is now an essential requirement for an effective oil analysis program.
