The Total Base Number (TBN) is a measure of a lubricant's reserve alkalinity, indicating the amount of acid that can be neutralized by the base components in the oil. It is the reverse measurement of Total Acid Number (TAN) and is crucial for assessing the effectiveness of a lubricant in preventing corrosion and wear over time.
Abstract: The objective of this study is to develop a statistical model to accurately estimate the total base number (TBN) value of diesel engine oils on the basis of the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The research sample consisted of oils used in the course of 14,820 km.
31 lip 2023 · Understanding how Total Base Number (TBN) affects equipment performance is crucial in maintaining the longevity and efficiency of machinery. TBN levels directly correlate to the oil's ability to neutralize acids, which in turn plays a significant role in preventing corrosive damage to engine components.
18 sty 2022 · A brief review of the methods for determining the total base number (TBN) of engine oils is presented. This integral parameter characterizes the total content of basic impurities (additives) in terms of the amount of potassium hydroxides in one gram of engine oil (mg KOH/g).
1 sty 2018 · Total Base Number (TBN), one of the key parameters characterizing oils during operation, is the measurement of the content of bases in lubricating oils. It provides information on both the alkali reserve from the overbased detergents and the amine structures present in the non-ionic detergent/dispersant additive.
Total base number is one of the most significant parameters in the assessment of the quality of engine oils; consequently, there has been a gradual increase in new scientific articles...
