Look back on his spreadsheet to test #1 where they indicate no aluminum detected with a dash and has been 2 ppm since and most recent 3PPM.  Pretty sure it means "O"

double check that because this is a industrial test not a full automotive.

Iron, copper, lead, aluminum, tin, nickel, chromium, titanium, vanadium and silver. What are they missing? 

The newer format for the uninformed in the industrial world places a - for below level of detection, blank = not tested. 

 

APOLOGIES to the TROLL 

 

I still want to  see if 0 if its 0.

Says so right in the blue line above the elemental spectroscopy results. 

 

Industrial  or auto, same lab, same ASTM D5185 MOD test so limit of detection is the same determined by that method so I fail to see the fuss over it being a recorded as zero or a dash. Zero and dash both mean zero ABOVE the minimum detection size. Zero does not mean zero below that limit. Block Pore tells the rational that. The difference is in the reporting not in the test. A distinction without a meaningful difference. 

 

This test is a slice of a pie with upper and lower size limits. It is not a full distribution.

Now that I understand. "Over" is always a sad experience and more so when you "father" it.

 

I'd like to acknowledge that you put allot of yourself into a means to be helpful to your fellow that is often thankless and misunderstood.  I didn't always agree with interpretive methodology but it was first rate lab work and you are patient beyond imagining with the thankless and the ignorant. Your service included allot I personally found very useful and quite imaginative. 

 

Loved the AN/BN complete as part of the normal service and the entire IR JOAP Method section is invaluable to anyone with more than a basic understanding the of purpose of even testing. KR water and GC fuels were spot on choices. Crackle tests are for field work for Macgyver-ing a situation. Not serious tools for this trade. 

 

I am sorry, truly sir, for your loss. And apologies for being insensitive to the reason for your objection. I did not understand the place it was coming from.

I offered that kind of work since 1980! Before most even knew what FTIR was!

Are you ok? Don’t make me drive to Illinois again to check your temp?? Seriously thanks!

Yes, I'm fine and thanks for asking. Just acutely aware at the moment. Hyper alert. You know better than most that place. Experiencing something akin to Stans experience with hearing aids. I just can't put it back in a drawer however. Not sure I want to. But yea, I'm solid. You're 5 X 5.

Quiet as church mouse now. Exhaust cam phasers didn’t care for the Valvoline after a couple thousand miles. The brief cold start rattle I had from them is gone now.
