UFM I NTERPRETAT I ON SY NOPSI S

S O Ssm Services will now bereporting FT-IR results in anew format. The results for soot, oxidation, sulfation, and nitration will be unitless whole numbers (UFM – Unsubtracted FT-IR Method number) that no longer represent % Allowable values. Please note that this new method is still to beutilized as a trending module. There will be samples and oil types that do not fit this model. Please refer to the technical paper “UnSubtracted FTIR Methodology for S O Ssm Services” for further details. Also notethat all information in this document was gathered utilizing a Perkin Elmer Oil Express FT-IR with SpectrumOne software and the S O Ssm Services Manager laboratory information management software. •

Shown below is a chart with comparisons for new soot values and the corresponding absorbance, %T, and % allowable values. Since soot is only the measure of light passage through asample, there is a direct relationship between the absorbance value obtained at the instrument level and the resulting UFM, %T, and % allowable values.

UFM # 31 35

 The UFM values for oxidation, sulfation, and nitration are not directly related to the absorbance value obtained at the instrument level. Absorbance is a single – point measurement, whereas our new method of FT-IR analysis actually measures the peak area in a specific wavenumber range. Because this new measurement is no longer a single point, we are not able to directly correlate previous % allowable values with the UFM values you will see on your reports. Shown above is atable summarizing the values for oxidation, sulfation, and nitration to be used as guidelines during oil interpretation. Please refer to the technical paper listed above for more details.  The water screen information comes out of the SpectrumOne software as Water Petroleum Lube. The value in this area is also a UFM number, and does not represent % water in the sample (see above table). Also, the % water and corresponding UFM number do not exhibit a linear relationship. Therefore, you cannot extrapolate% water data using the UFM number. A sample with a water petroleumlube UFM number of less than 31 will be negative for water screen. S O Ssm Services Manager will assign a water test to this sample and complete the test by entering a negative value. A sample with a water petroleumlube UFM number of 31 to 34 will indicate a possible for water screen, S O Ssm Services Manager will assign a water test, and it will remain incomplete until a technician performs a physical confirmation of presence of water and enters the result. A sample with a water petroleum lube UFM number of 35 or greater will indicatea probable for water screen, S O Ssm Services Manager will assign awater test, and it will remain incomplete until a technician performs a physical confirmation of presence of water and enters the result. •

Caterpillar S·O·S Services Interpretation I  Acronym Help Sheet  API – American Petroleum Institute. This is a global organization that, along with other activities, produces standards and specifications for petroleum products.  ASTM Int ernational – This is an organization that develops technical standards for materials, products, systems and services. They originated as the American Society for Testing and Materials. Cat BF-1 – A Caterpillar biodegradable fluid specification. Cat DEAC – Diesel Engine Antifreeze/Coolant Cat DEO – Diesel Engine Oil Cat DEO SYN – Synthetic Diesel Engine Oil Cat DEO-ULS – Diesel Engine Oil-Ultra Low Sulfur Cat ECF – Caterpillar Engine Crankcase Fluid. This is a series of oil specifications that CAT has developed. Cat ELC – Extended Life Coolant Cat FDAO – Final Drive and Axle Oil Cat GO – Gear Oil Cat MTO – Multipurpose Tractor Oil Cat TDTO – Transmission Drive Train Oil Cat TDTO TMS -Transmission Multi-Season Cat TO-4 – A Caterpillar transmission and drive train oil specification. TO does not specifically stand for anything. CF – A series of oil classifications from the API. These replace and update the CD and CE classifications. CGI – Clean Gas Induction. This is a proprietary Caterpillar process designed to recirculate exhaust gas to ultimately provide cleaner emissions. CG-4 – An oil classification from the API. This standard addresses oil formulations designed for engines that must comply with 1994 EPA emissions regulations. CH-4 – An oil classification from the API. This standard addresses oil formulations designed for engines that must comply with 1998 EPA emissions regulations. CI-4 – An oil classification from the API. One reason this new standard was introduced was to address oil conditions in engines utilizing EGR technology. CJ-4 – An oil classification from the API. This standard addresses oil formulations designed for engines that must comply with 2007 model year onhighway emissions standards. In addition to addressing oil conditions in EGR engines, this classification also address oils for other advanced aftertreatment and particulate filtering engine technologies. DPF – Diesel Particulate Filter ECM – Electronic Control Module EGR – Exhaust Gas Recirculation. A technology utilized by diesel engine manufacturers to produce cleaner emissions.

HEUI – Hydraulically Actuated Electronically Controlled Unit Injector KN – Knowledge Network. A series of communities managed by Caterpillar.  These contain information bulletins, guides and tools as well as discussion groups. NLGI- National Lubricating Grease Institute. This is a global organization that promotes technical advancements and improvements in lubrication. The NLGI also provides standards for lubricants. OMM – Operations and Maintenance Manual ppm – parts per million. This is a way to describe very dilute concentrations. PSSR – Parts Sales and Service Representatives PSOR – Parts and Service Operations Representative. SCA- Supplemental Coolant Additive SAE – Society of Automotive Engineers. This is a global organization that creates and manages engineering standards. These include viscosity standards for oils. SIS – Service Information System. This is a software tool produced by Caterpillar that contains product information. TC – Technical Communicator. TGA – Thermogravimetric Analysis. This analysis involves heating a sample and measuring the changes in weight as compounds decompose due to higher temperatures. UFM – Unsubtracted FTIR Method. A way to analyze oils using FTIR that does not require reference oil.
