  • QUENCHING TIME OF HEAT TREATING FLUIDS: D3520 QUENCHING TIME OF HEAT TREATING FLUIDS: D3520EXPLANATIONThis method covers a procedure for making a comparative evaluation of the quenching speed characteristics of petroleum fluids used in quenching of metals by means of the magnetic quenchometer. A comparison method for evaluation of the quenching ...
  • PUMPABILITY OF INDUSTRIAL FUEL OILS: D3245 PUMPABILITY OF INDUSTRIAL FUEL OILS: D3245EXPLANATIONThis test method is designed to give an indication of the minimum storage and minimum handling temperatures, which may be used for a given fuel oil. This test method is cited in Specification D396.TEST SUMMARYA sample of oil, preheated if necessary ...
  • PRECIPITATION NUMBER OF LUBRICATING OILS: D91 PRECIPITATION NUMBER OF LUBRICATING OILS: D91EXPLANATIONFully refined petroleum oils normally contain no naptha insoluble material. Semirefined or black oils frequently contain some naptha insoluble material, sometimes referred to as asphaltenes. This test measures the amount of naptha insoluble material ...
  • AUTO POUR POINT (HERZOG): D5985 AUTO POUR POINT (HERZOG): D5985EXPLANATIONThis test method covers the determination of pour point of petroleum products by an automatic instrument and continuously rotates the test specimen against a suspended detection device during cooling of the test specimen. This test method includes the range of ...
  • POUR POINT OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS BY ROBOTIC TILT METHOD: D6892 POUR POINT OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS BY ROBOTIC TILT METHOD: D6892EXPLANATIONThe pour point of a petroleum product is an index of the lowest temperature of its utility for certain applications. Flow characteristics, like pour point, can be critical for the correct operation of lubricating systems, fuel systems, ...
  • AUTO POUR POINT (ISL): D5950 AUTO POUR POINT (ISL): D5950EXPLANATIONThis test method covers the determination of pour point of petroleum products by an automatic instrument that tilts the test jar during cooling and detects movement of the surface of the test specimen with an optical device. This test method includes the range of ...
  • AUTO POUR POINT (PHASE TECHNOLOGY): D5949 AUTO POUR POINT (PHASE TECHNOLOGY): D5949EXPLANATIONThis test method covers the determination of pour point of petroleum products by an automatic instrument that applies a controlled burst of nitrogen gas onto the specimen surface while the specimen is being cooled and detects movement of the surface ...
  • POUR POINT OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS BY USING AUTOMATIC AIR PRESSURE METHOD: D6749 POUR POINT OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS BY USING AUTOMATIC AIR PRESSURE METHOD: D6749EXPLANATIONThe pour point of a petroleum product is an index of the lowest temperature of its utility for certain applications. Flow characteristics, like pour point, can be critical for the correct operation of lubricating ...
  • POUR POINT: D97 POUR POINT: D97(Equivalent Test Methods: IP 15, ISO 3016, DIN 51597, JIS K 2269, and AFNOR T60-105)EXPLANATIONPour point of a petroleum oil is an index of the lowest temperature of its utility for certain applications. The cloud point (Test Method D2500) is usually higher than the pour point.TEST SUMMARYAfter ...
  • POUR POINT OF CRUDE OILS: D5853 POUR POINT OF CRUDE OILS: D5853EXPLANATIONThe pour point of a crude oil is an index of the lowest temperature of handleability for certain applications. The maximum and minimum pour point temperatures provide a temperature window where a crude oil, depending on its thermal history, might appear in the ...
