ABSTRACT:
To provide an oil type discrimination method and an oil type discriminator capable of accurately discriminating a type of oil even when light-shielding components exist in the oil and of preventing in advance erroneous discrimination of a mixture of oil.There are provided step S1in which the transmission spectrum of near infrared light is measured, step S2in which the transmission spectrum is converted into an absorbance spectrum, a first discrimination step S3in which between gasoline type and non-gasoline type is discriminated by comparing the difference in absorbance between two wavelengths existing in the vicinities of respective attribute wavelengths of predetermined chemical bonds with 0.0, step S4in which the first derivative spectrum of the absorbance is found, a second discrimination step S5in which a value, which is obtained by multiplying respective first derivative values of absorbance of at least four wavelengths existing in the vicinities of respective attribute wavelengths of predetermined chemical bonds by respective coefficients and further adding a constant to the sum, is compared with 0.0 and thus between regular gasoline and high-octane gasoline is discriminated, and a third discrimination step S6in which the difference in absorbance between two wavelengths existing in the vicinities of respective attribute wavelengths of predetermined chemical bonds is compared with 0.0 and thus between kerosene and diesel oil is discriminated.
