TAN and TBN Tester

Introduction

TAN (Total Acid Number) and TBN (Total Base Number) tester is a specialized instrument widely used in the petroleum and lubricant industry for assessing the acidic or basic characteristics of oils. TAN measures the acidity of oils, indicating the presence of acidic components that can lead to corrosion and degradation, while TBN measures the alkalinity, revealing the oil's ability to neutralize acidic substances. This tester typically involves titration, where a sample is treated with a reagent until a neutralization endpoint is reached. By determining TAN and TBN values, lubricant and oil manufacturers can assess the degradation and contamination levels, enabling informed decisions regarding oil change intervals and maintenance schedules.
