Abstract

Shear horizontal surface acoustic wave (SH-SAW) devices are used as sensors for liquid measurements. Liquid properties, such as viscosity and conductivity, can be measured using SH-SAW sensors. Measurements of the deterioration of engine oil are required. In this study, an SH-SAW sensor was applied to measure the properties of three types of oil. First, the properties of olive oils with iron particles were measured to simulate the deterioration of oil. Secondly, two types of engine oil were heated to evaluate the thermal changes in their properties. The properties of the engine oil used by a motorbike for about one year were measured and compared with those of the new one. The obtained results in this study strongly suggest that the SH-SAW sensors for detecting the mechanical and electrical properties of liquids were effective in measuring the properties of oil.
