Abstract
A novel thin-film oxidation technique, by means of a sealed tube test, has been developed. The analytical method based on this technique is capable of measuring lubricant liquid-phase reaction rate, gas-phase reaction rate, evaporation rate, etc. Because all of these measurements originate from a single test condition, they are intrinsically related to each other, thus providing an integrated frame in data interpretation. A 5P4E polyphenyl ether is used in this preliminary study, and its experimental results are presented and discussed.
