[Analysis Case] Investigation of Adhering Components Before and After Cleaning of Mechanical Parts

It is possible to evaluate cleaning effectiveness and identify contaminants.

When overhauling mechanical parts such as pumps and engines, there are cases where parts are cleaned and reused. If the cleaning does not sufficiently remove dirt, there is a risk of malfunctions occurring in the assembled machinery. To investigate the presence of dirt or to analyze the components that are attached, thermal desorption gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TD-GC/MS) is effective. By heating the sample at a high temperature (up to 350°C), the attached organic substances can be volatilized and measured using GC/MS. This method is useful for identifying the attached components, comparing the amount of attachment before and after cleaning, and assessing the degree of cleaning based on different cleaning methods. Measurement method: GC/MS Product field: Manufacturing equipment and parts Analysis purpose: Composition evaluation and identification For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
