This test method covers the determination of the tendency of aviation reciprocating, turbine, and jet engine fuels to form gum and deposits under accelerated aging conditions.
This test method covers the determination of the sulfated ash from unused lubricating oils containing additives and from additive concentrates used in compounding.
This test method covers the determination of pentane and toluene insolubles in used lubricating oils.
This test method covers the determination of the precipitation number of steam cylinder stocks and black oils and can be used for other lubricating oils.
This test method describes the determination of the flash point and fire point of petroleum products by a manual Cleveland open cup apparatus or an automated Cleveland open cup apparatus. This test method is applicable to all petroleum products with flash points above 79 °C (175 °F) and below 400 °C (752 °F) except fuel oils.
These test methods cover the determination of the flash point of petroleum products in the temperature range from 40 °C to 370 °C by a manual Pensky-Martens closed-cup apparatus or an automated Pensky-Martens closed-cup apparatus, and the determination of the flash point of biodiesel in the temperature range of 60 °C to 190 °C by an automated Pensky-Martens closed cup apparatus.
This test method covers measuring with a penetrometer the penetration of petrolatum as an empirical measure of consistency.
This test method covers the evaluation of the oxidation stability of inhibited steam-turbine oils in the presence of oxygen, water, and copper and iron metals at an elevated temperature. This test method is also used for testing other oils, such as hydraulic oils and circulating oils having a specific gravity less than that of water and containing rust and oxidation inhibitors.
This test method covers the determination of water in the range from 0 % to 25 % by volume in petroleum products, tars, and other bituminous materials by the distillation method.
This test method covers the determination of pour point and is intended for use on any petroleum product.
These test methods are intended for determining the softening point of resins (including rosin and terpene resins) and similar materials by means of the ring-and-ball apparatus.
This standard describes a method for the detection of substances corrosive to copper in lubricating greases under static conditions. It does not correlate with greases operating under dynamic conditions.
This method specifies the determination of the distillation characteristics of light and middle distillates derived from petroleum with initial boiling points above 0°C and end-points below approximately 400°C, utilizing either manual or automated equipment, with the manual procedure being the referee method in cases of dispute, unless otherwise agreed.
This standard specifies a method for determining the existent gum content of aviation fuels and the gum content of motor gasoline or other volatile distillates. It includes the determination of products containing ethanol (up to a volume fraction of 85 %) and ether-type oxygenates and deposit control additives.
This method specifies the determination of the foaming characteristics of lubricating oils at specified temperatures. It is applicable to lubricants which may or may not contain additives to modify or suppress the tendency to form stable foam. Means of empirically rating the foaming tendency and the stability of the foam are described.
This method specifies the determination of the pour point of petroleum products. A separate procedure suitable for the determination of the lower pour point of fuel oils, heavy lubricant base stock, and products containing residual fuel components is also described.
This method specifies the determination of the corrosiveness to copper of liquid petroleum products and certain solvents. Volatile products, having a maximum vapour pressure of 124 kPa at 37,8°C are included.
