Abstract
ABSTRACTThe identification of aircraft hydraulic fluid contamination of turbine engine oils is difficult. Repeated field incidents of this type of cross contamination have led to the requirement to develop a method suitable for quantitation of such contamination. A gas chromatography–chemical ionisation mass spectrometry method for the determination of H‐537 hydraulic fluid contamination in turbine engine oil was developed and validated. The intraday and interday relative standard deviations of the standards were 3–7% and 5–9%, respectively. Mean recoveries of hydraulic fluid in turbine engine oil were 90–94%, and the calibration curve was linear with R2 = 0.999. Limits of detection and quantitation were 0.05% (w/w) and 0.5% (w/w), respectively. The method was successfully applied to laboratory degraded samples and field samples.
