"Conventional technology" Lubricating oil is widely used in mechanical equipment for the purpose of reducing friction between two solid bodies in sliding parts to reduce wear and heat generation. is considered very important. This deterioration of lubricating oil leads to poor lubrication of the sliding parts of mechanical equipment, leading to abnormal wear of parts.
It is a major cause of equipment failure, and when abnormal wear occurs on the sliding parts of mechanical equipment, metal wear particles and the like will be dispersed in the lubricating oil. Therefore, detecting the degree of abnormality in the lubricating oil used in mechanical equipment makes it possible to discover abnormalities in the sliding parts of mechanical equipment before they lead to serious equipment failure, and to improve the quality of mechanical equipment. This is a very effective method for ensuring stable operation.

However, conventional methods for detecting the degree of abnormality in lubricating oil include, for example, passing lubricating oil through a very fine filter, trapping foreign matter such as metal wear particles in the oil, and The amount of foreign matter such as metal wear powder was measured by observing and measuring the amount of particles. This method was very time-consuming due to the amount of lubricating oil and lacked quantitative properties.

The transmission of light has also been used to detect abnormalities in lubricating oil. However, there are a wide variety of lubricating oils actually used in the field, and the permeability of the lubricating oil also varies depending on the type of oil, and the optimal lubricating oil is selected depending on the type of mechanical elements in the lubricated part of mechanical equipment and the lubrication conditions. has been done. The absorbance of fresh lubricating oil varies depending on the type of lubricating oil, as shown in FIG. FIG. 8 shows the absorbance of new lubricating oils A to M when the absorbance of lubricating oil A is 0 and the absorbance is 100 (%) when the completely light-shielded state, that is, the amount of transmitted light is 0 (dark state), is set to 100 (%).

``Problem to be solved by the invention'' For this reason, in the past, for each lubricating oil to be measured, it was necessary to calibrate the measuring instrument using new oil as a standard and oil that has deteriorated to the extent that it is considered abnormal, making measurement laborious. Furthermore, it was not possible to immediately determine the degree of abnormality in the lubricating oil or the sliding parts of mechanical equipment based on the measured values. Furthermore, lubricating oil has characteristics in its light absorption spectrum, as shown in Figure 9, and unless the wavelength of the light source is selected while avoiding the unique peak wavelength, the absorbance will change due to changes in the wavelength of the light source. It will be greatly affected. In addition, the relationship between light absorption and lubricant concentration is generally based on Lambert's law, and the relationship between the intensity of incident light I1 and the intensity of transmitted light coming out of lubricant I2 is the length of the sample container (cell length) l, the sample concentration d, and the extinction coefficient e depending on the type of lubricating oil that absorbs at the wavelength λ.
(λ), I 2 = 10 -e()
