Abstract


The control of lubricating oil degradation is usually done by physical-chemical techniques. However, these techniques are not practical because they are time-consuming and destructive. In order to examine the feasibility of quality control in a non-destructive manner, the ultrasonic technique by reflection under normal incidence with immersion in water has been used. In this experimental study, the evolution of the ultrasonic parameters has been followed in different oil samples, taken every 10000 km, i.e. as a function of the mileage covered by the vehicle. In parallel to these ultrasonic measurements, the evolution of the physical parameters (hot and cold kinematic viscosity, dynamic viscosity, viscosity index) has been also followed in order to verify the existence of such a correlation between these parameters and the ultrasonic measurements. The analysis of the experimental results obtained shows the existence of a perfect correlation between ultrasonic attenuation and viscosity. This experimental work enables to find out that attenuation is the most decisive ultrasonic parameter to characterize the quality of lubricating oil.
