  • FILTERABILITY OF AVIATION TURBINE FUEL: ASTM D6824 FILTERABILITY OF AVIATION TURBINE FUEL: ASTM D6824EXPLANATIONThis test method is intended for use in the laboratory or field in evaluating cleanliness of aviation turbine fuel. A change in filtration performance after storage, pretreatment, or commingling can be indicative of changes in fuel condition. ...
  • FILTER PLUGGING TENDENCY OF DISTILLATE FUEL OILS: ASTM D2068 FILTER PLUGGING TENDENCY OF DISTILLATE FUEL OILS: ASTM D2068EXPLANATIONCauses of poor filterability might include fuel degradation products, contaminants picked up during storage or transfer, or interaction of the fuel with the filter media. A change in filter performance after storage or pretreatment ...
  • EXTRACTABLES SOLVENT EXTRACTABLES IN PETROLEUM WAXES: ASTM D3235 EXTRACTABLES SOLVENT EXTRACTABLES IN PETROLEUM WAXES: ASTM D3235EXPLANATIONThe solvent extractables in a wax may have significant effects on several of its properties such as strength, hardness, flexibility, scuff resistance, coefficient of friction, coefficient of expansion, melting point, and staining ...
  • EXTREME PRESSURE PROPERTIES OF SOLID BONDED FILMS USING AN SRV TEST MACHINE: AST EXTREME PRESSURE PROPERTIES OF SOLID BONDED FILMS USING AN SRV TEST MACHINE: ASTM D7217EXPLANATIONThis test method covers a procedure for determining extreme pressure properties of solid bonded films under high-frequency linear-oscillation motion using the SRV test machine. This laboratory test method ...
  • EXTREME PRESSURE PROPERTIES OF LUBRICATING GREASES: ASTM D5706 EXTREME PRESSURE PROPERTIES OF LUBRICATING GREASES: ASTM D5706EXPLANATIONThis test method is used for quickly determining extreme pressure properties of lubricating greases at selected temperatures specified for use in applications where high speed vibrational or start-stop motions are present with high ...

This test is not applicable to lubricating greases that have as their fluid component a silicone, halogenated silicone, or a mixture comprising silicone fluid and petroleum oil.TEST ...
  • EXTREME PRESSURE PROPERTIES OF LUBRICATING FLUIDS: ASTM D2783 EXTREME PRESSURE PROPERTIES OF LUBRICATING FLUIDS: ASTM D2783EXPLANATIONThis test method is used for specification purposes, differentiates between lubricating fluids having low, medium, and high levels of extreme pressure properties. Two determinations are made: load-wear index, and weld point by means ...
  • EXTREME PRESSURE PROPERTIES OF LUBRICATING FLUIDS: ASTM D2782 EXTREME PRESSURE PROPERTIES OF LUBRICATING FLUIDS: ASTM D2782(Equivalent Test Methods: IP 240 and DIN 51434)EXPLANATIONThis test method is widely used for the determination of extreme pressure properties for specification purposes of the load carrying capacity of lubricating fluids by means of Timken ...
  • EXTREME PRESSURE PROPERTIES OF FLUID LUBRICANTS: ASTM D3233 EXTREME PRESSURE PROPERTIES OF FLUID LUBRICANTS: ASTM D3233EXPLANATIONThese test methods cover two procedures for making a preliminary evaluation of the load-carrying properties of fluid lubricants by means of the Falex Pin and Vee Block test machines. Evaluations by both test methods differentiate between ...
  • EXPLOSIVE REACTIVITY OF LUBRICANTS: ASTM D3115 EXPLOSIVE REACTIVITY OF LUBRICANTS: ASTM D3115EXPLANATIONExplosive reactivity has resulted when parts made from some light alloys, typically high in aluminum and magnesium, are loaded under shear conditions while in contact with certain lubricants. A typical example is a threaded part, lubricated with ...
