In today industrial environmental monitoring field, it is particularly important to accurately and quickly determine the oil content in water, soil and other media.As an instrument specially used for such detection tasks, the infrared oil tester has been widely used due to its efficient detection capability and accuracy. This article will deeply explore the working principle of the infrared oil tester and reveal its core value in the modern environmental protection and industrial fields.

Infrared oil analyzers work mainly based on the absorption characteristics of substances to infrared light of specific wavelengths. Specifically, different types of organic molecules have different infrared absorption peaks. In the infrared spectrum, oil-containing organic substances such as alkyl and aromatic hydrocarbons will show strong absorption characteristics in certain specific bands. Using this principle, infrared oil analyzers can identify and quantify the petroleum components in the sample.

The instrument usually consists of an infrared light source, a sample chamber, and a detector. During operation, the sample to be tested is first introduced into the sample chamber, and the infrared light emitted by the light source passes through the sample and is received by the detector. The oil components in the sample chamber absorb light of specific wavelengths, causing the intensity of the light reaching the detector to decrease. By comparing the original light intensity with the light intensity after passing through the sample, the instrument can calculate the amount of oil in the sample.

The advantage of this detection method is its accuracy and specificity. Since it directly measures the infrared absorption characteristics of petroleum substances, the infrared oil analyzer can accurately identify and quantify petroleum pollutants in complex environmental matrices, thus avoiding the cross-interference problems that may occur in conventional chemical analysis.

Infrared oil measuring instruments have a wide range of applications, including environmental monitoring, oil field development, marine research, sewage treatment and other fields. In terms of environmental protection, infrared oil measuring instruments can quickly detect water pollution incidents and provide a scientific basis for pollution prevention and control. In industrial production, by monitoring the oil content in wastewater, enterprises can effectively control pollutant emissions and comply with environmental protection regulations.
