Abstract
An apparatus for measuring the Sulfur component contained in oil includes an X-ray tube having a target made of Titanium or Scandium, a filter made of Titanium or Scandium for filtering said X-ray radiated from the X-ray tube, a measurement cell for introducing a sample to be measured therein, and a detector for detecting fluorescent X-rays radiated from the sample. According to the invention, the X-ray tube has a target made of Titanium or Scandium and the X-rays generated from the X-ray tube are filtered by the filter, which is made of Titanium or Scandium, so that the background of the X-rays for the measurement against the fluorescent X-rays of the Sulfur is reduced and therefore even a small amount of Sulfur contained in the sample can be correctly detected.
