DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK
Manitoba Hydro Chemical Laboratory Services is currently analyzing metals in lubricating and
insulating oils by axial ICP-OES. We are looking at replacing our axial ICP-OES with an ICP
instrument specifically for routine lubricating and insulating oil analysis according to the following
ASTM methods:
· D5185 - Standard Test Method for Multielement Determination of Used and Unused
Lubricating Oils and Base Oils by Inductively coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry
(ICP-AES)
· D7151 - Standard Test Method for Determination of Elements in Insulating Oils by
Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES)
The decision will be based on a combination of instrument cost (quoted in Canadian dollar), detection
limits and accuracy guarantees, accessory requirements and costs, gas consumption, analysis time,
and performance on samples analyzed at your laboratory.
Full Technical Requirement can be found in Attachment ICP-OES Specifications
