Fuels & Lubricants Testing Capabilities

UOP 163 (Hydrogen Sulfide Analysis in Liquid)

We perform testing by UOP 163 to determine the hydrogen sulfide and mercaptan sulfur content in hydrocarbons by potentiometric titration. This method can be used for gasoline, naphtha, light cycle oils and similar hydrocarbons.  We also perform sulfur analysis by ASTM D129, ASTM D2622, ASTM D3227, ASTM D4294, ASTM D5623, ASTM D5453, ASTM D7039, IP 61, IP 342, and ISO 3012. These different test methods […]

TM-01-72 (NACE Analysis, Corrosion)

We perform petroleum quality and conformance testing by NACE TM-01-72 to evaluate the corrosive properties of petroleum products transported in pipelines. Petroleum product pipelines are subject to general surface corrosion caused by traces of moisture condensed from the products. Rusting can be prevented with corrosion inhibitors. Sample quantity required: 200 ml Contact […]

SAE ARP5996 (HLPS Dynamic Coking)

We perform HLPS testing to evaluate the coking propensity of aviation lubricants under single phase flow conditions found in parts of gas turbine engines. A lubricant’s tendency to form deposits in an engine oil system is a critical factor that can influence engine design, engine performance, and maintenance intervals. This method […]

NAS 1638 (Particle Count)

We perform hydraulic fluid quality testing by FTM 3012 to determine whether aerospace hydraulic fluids meet the NAS 1638 cleanliness standard. NAS 1638 is not a test method, but is a cleanliness standard for hydraulic fluids used in aviation applications.  It is widely used in industrial and aerospace applications. The particle count is determined […]
