Excerpt
Peak to Peak Measurement Solutions and the Leonardo Centre of Tribology at the University of Sheffield have developed a measurement technique based on micro active-ultrasonic sensors. They can be embedded onto engine components and provide a discrete lubricant film thickness measurement. This article shows this method applied to a four-cylinder diesel engine dyno test campaign with lubricants of varying viscosity. …
