New Base Number Test Procedure<\/h2>\n
Technical Bulletin Posted January 2013<\/span><\/div>\n

TESTOIL has implemented a new testing procedure for measuring Base Number (TBN) using FTIR.<\/em><\/p>\n

Test Revisions
\n<\/strong>Traditionally, Base Number<\/a> has been measured with a potentiometric titrator using large volumes of hazardous solvents. We have spent considerable time working with Fourier Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) experts and are now able to generate Base Number data using FTIR.\u00a0 This data is comparable in repeatability to the titrator method and correlates directly with the data obtained with the older titration method. We are very pleased with this outcome as this new FTIR method significantly reduces our technicians' exposure to hazardous chemicals.<\/p>\n

This new method will now be the default method used on all of your samples except for any new oil samples, which will continue to be processed on the titrator. We will retain our capabilities for the traditional titrimetric method, and it can be performed by request. Alarm limits will be the same for both methods.<\/p>\n
