What Does OIT Stand For?
OIT stands for Oxidative Induction Time
Oxidative Induction Time (OIT) is a measure of the duration it takes for a sample to show signs of oxidative degradation when exposed to an oxidative environment. It is an important parameter in assessing the stability and robustness of materials, particularly polymers and fuels, against oxidative stress. A longer OIT typically indicates greater stability, while a shorter OIT suggests a higher susceptibility to oxidative damage. This metric is widely utilized in quality control and material selection processes across various industries.
