A PRACTICAL METHOD FOR TESTING THE ABRASIVE WEAR PROTECTION OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

Abrasive wear is the most decisive factor in determining the life of internal combustion engines. Methods based on radioactive tracers have been developed and are outlined for assessing the efficiency and selection of oil and air filters. Use of these methods would help to improve the life of internal combustion engines by better protection against abrasive wear. (A) /TRRL/
