    This document describes a method for determining the acid number of lubricating and motor oils using an automated titration system. The method involves titrating oil samples dissolved in a solvent mixture with potassium hydroxide to find the equivalence point, from which the acid number is calculated. Results from testing lubricating oil and motor oil samples are presented, showing good precision and accuracy.

    SUMMARY

    Fully automated determination of the acid number


    of petroleum products according to ASTM D664 and
    IP 177 can be achieved using a Metrohm OMNIS
    system. Using an OMNIS Sample Robot allows the
    fully automated titration of up to four samples in
    parallel. The OMNIS platform offers the opportunity
    to customize your system according to your need
    and expand it for other required titration
