  • DISTILLATION AT REDUCED PRESSURE: D1160 DISTILLATION AT REDUCED PRESSURE: D1160(Equivalent Test Method: ISO 6616)This test method is used for the determination of the distillation characteristics of petroleum products and fractions that may decompose if distilled at atmospheric pressure. Both a manual and and an automatic method are included. ...
  • DISTILLATION OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS: D86 DISTILLATION OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS: D86(Equivalent Test Methods: IP 123, ISO 3405, DIN 51751, JIS K 2254, and AFNOR M07-002)EXPLANATIONDistillation (volatility) properties of petroleum products are indicative of their performance. The empirical results obtained by this test method have been found to ...
  • DISTILLATION OF HEAVY HYDROCARBON MIXTURES: D5236 DISTILLATION OF HEAVY HYDROCARBON MIXTURES: D5236This is a complex procedure involving many interacting variables. It is most important that at the time of first use of a new apparatus, its components be checked in detail as described in the method. This method describes a procedure for distilling heavy ...
  • DISTILLATION OF CRUDE PETROLEUM: D2892 DISTILLATION OF CRUDE PETROLEUM: D2892(Equivalent Test Method: ISO 8708)GENERALThis test provides an estimate of the yields of fractions of various boiling ranges, and is therefore valuable in technical discussions of a commercial nature. This test method corresponds to the standard laboratory distillation ...
  • DISTILLATION OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS DISTILLATION OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTSGENERALThe basic method of distillation to determine the boiling range of a petroleum product has been in use since the beginning of the petroleum industry. Distillation method, Test Method D86 is one of the oldest methods under the jurisdiction of ASTM D02 Committee. ...
  • DIESEL FUEL DILUENT IN USED DIESEL ENGINE OILS BY GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY: D3524 DIESEL FUEL DILUENT IN USED DIESEL ENGINE OILS BY GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY: D3524EXPLANATIONSome fuel dilution of the engine oil may take place during normal operations. However, excessive fuel dilution is of concern in terms of possible performance problems. This test method covers the determination of diesel ...
  • DEPENTANIZATION OF GASOLINE AND NAPTHAS: D2001 DEPENTANIZATION OF GASOLINE AND NAPTHAS: D2001EXPLANATIONThe presence of pentane and lighter hydrocarbons in gasolines, napthas, and similar petroleum distillates interferes in the determination of hydrocarbon types by Test Methods D1319 and D2789. Pentane and lighter hydrocarbons are separated by this ...
  • DENSITY AND RELATIVE DENSITY OF VISCOUS MATERIALS BY LIPKIN PYCNOMETER: D1481 DENSITY AND RELATIVE DENSITY OF VISCOUS MATERIALS BY LIPKIN PYCNOMETER: D1481This test method is applicable to oils more viscous than 15 cSt at 20°C, and of viscous oils and melted waxes at elevated temperatures, but not at temperatures at which the sample would have a vapor pressure of 100 mm Hg (13 ...
  • DENSITY AND RELATIVE DENSITY OF VISCOUS MATERIALS BY BINGHAM PYCNOMETER: D1480 DENSITY AND RELATIVE DENSITY OF VISCOUS MATERIALS BY BINGHAM PYCNOMETER: D1480This test method is applicable to liquids of vapor pressures below 600 mm Hg 80 kPa and viscosities below 40 000 cSt at the test temperature. This test method can be used at temperatures between 20 and 100° C. It can be used ...
  • DENSITY, RELATIVE DENSITY AND API GRAVITY BY THERMOHYDROMETER METHOD: D6822 DENSITY, RELATIVE DENSITY AND API GRAVITY BY THERMOHYDROMETER METHOD: D6822EXPLANATIONDensity and API gravity are used in custody transfer quantity calculations and to satisfy transportation, storage, and regulatory requirements. These are also the factors that indicate the quality of crude petroleum. ...
