3、.Department of Defense.1NOTETable 4 was editorially corrected in April 2014.INTRODUCTIONCosts associated with maintenance due to engine and machine wear can be significant.Therefore,diagnostic methods for determining the condition of engines and other machinery can be important.This test method is i
4、ntended to quantify,for the purpose of equipment monitoring,the concentrationof metals in used lubricating oils.Although the precision statement was determined by analyzing avariety of used oils this test method can,in principle,be used for the analysis of unused oils to providemore complete element
