Olive oil is an essential diet component in all Mediterranean countries having a
considerable impact on the local economies, which are producing almost 90% of the world …

Carboxylic acids (CAs), common oxygen-containing compounds in petroleum samples,
have been paid high attention in several areas, including petroleum geochemistry …

Analyzing the concentration of low molecular acids dissolved in oil is vital in the oil-paper
insulation aging diagnostic procedure of power transformers. The existing methods cannot …

The behavior of the oil-paper insulating systems of transformers is primary determined by
paper and oil basic properties. Recent studies are concerned to study of using synthetic oils …

A new pH-metric method for determination of acid values in oilseeds without titration has
been developed in the range 0.6–10 and more mg KOH/g. The method is based on a rapid …

A spectrophotometric FIA method for the determination of the total base number (TBN) in a
lubricant was proposed, which involved using an acid–base buffer solution prepared with a …

The results of two interlaboratory comparisons of acid number determinations in used motor
oils are discussed. It is shown that the comparability of the measurement results is not as …

A heptane-mediated extraction of acids from hydraulic oils is proposed for pH-metric acid
number determination without titration. The acids are extracted in the reagent consisting of …

An approach to assess the permissible ranges for results of replicate determinations using
uncertainty calculation is discussed. The approach is based on the known range distribution …

ABSTRACT A touch sensing material called QTCTM is currently produced by Peratech Ltd.
The material is a composite with conducting particles in a polymer matrix. When a pressure …
