  • HYDROGEN SULFIDE IN RESIDUAL FUELS: ASTM D6021 HYDROGEN SULFIDE IN RESIDUAL FUELS: ASTM D6021EXPLANATIONExcessive levels of hydrogen sulfide in the vapor phase above residual fuel oils in storage tanks may result in health hazard, violation of OSHA limits, and public complaint. Also, it can cause corrosion in refining and other production activities. ...
  • HYDROGEN SULFIDE IN LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS LPG BY LEAD ACETATE METHOD: ASTM D24 HYDROGEN SULFIDE IN LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS LPG BY LEAD ACETATE METHOD: ASTM D2420(Equivalent Test Methods: IP 401, ISO 8819, DIN 51855 T3, and AFNOR M41-011)EXPLANATIONLiquefied petroleum gas and its combustion products must not be unduly corrosive to the materials that they come in contact with. Hence, ...
  • HYDROLYTIC STABILITY OF HYDRAULIC FLUIDS: ASTM D2619 HYDROLYTIC STABILITY OF HYDRAULIC FLUIDS: ASTM D2619EXPLANATIONHydrolytically unstable hydraulic fluids form acidic and insoluble contaminants which can cause hydraulic system malfunctions due to corrosion, valve sticking, or change in the viscosity of the fluid. This test method differentiates the relative ...
  • HYDROGEN CONTENT OF PETROLEUM FRACTIONS: ASTM D1018 HYDROGEN CONTENT OF PETROLEUM FRACTIONS: ASTM D1018EXPLANATIONThis test method is applicable to petroleum fractions that can be burned completely without smoking in a wick lamp.TEST SUMMARYA sample is burned from a cotton wick in an atmosphere of purified air. The water formed is collected from the combustion ...
  • HYDROGEN BY NMR: ASTM D7171 HYDROGEN BY NMR: ASTM D7171EXPLANATIONHydrogen content represents a fundamental quality of a petroleum distillate that has been correlated with many of the performance characteristics of that product. Combustion properties of gas turbine fuels are related primarily to hydrogen content. As hydrogen content ...
  • HYDROGEN CONTENT OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS BY NMR: ASTM D4808 HYDROGEN CONTENT OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS BY NMR: ASTM D4808EXPLANATIONThese test methods are a precise and simple alternative to other methods such as combustion or empirical methods for hydrogen determination in fuels. They use a continuous wave,low-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. ...
