We perform quality testing by ASTM D130 to measure the copper corrosion caused by diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, lubricants, and other petroleum products. The copper strip corrosion test is designed to assess the relative degree of corrosivity of a petroleum product. This test method covers the determination of the corrosiveness to copper of […]

We perform testing by ASTM D1298 to determine the density, specific gravity, or API gravity of gasoline, diesel, crude oil, and other petroleum products. Density is an important quality indicator for automotive, aviation and marine fuels, where it affects storage, handling and combustion. ASTM D1298 applies to crude petroleum, petroleum products, or mixtures of petroleum […]

We perform petrochemical testing by ASTM D1296 to observe the characteristic and residual odors of volatile organic solvents and diluents. Odor characteristics can be used to determine the product’s odor acceptability in a solvent system, for identification, and for assessing compliance with a specification. Sample quantity required: 100 ml Contact us today to receive […]

We perform lubricants testing by ASTM D1287 to determine the pH of unused engine coolants and antirusts. pH is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration and indicates whether an engine coolant, antirust, or a solution of these compounds is acidic, alkaline, or neutral. An alkaline pH is generally desirable in engine […]

We perform quality testing by ASTM D127 to find the melting point of wax and petrolatum (petroleum jelly), which can be an indication of performance. Two chilled thermometers are dipped into the wax or petrolatum sample. The thermometers are then heated slowly until the first drop falls from each thermometer. The average of […]

We perform fuel testing by ASTM D1094 to determine the presence of water-soluble components in aviation gasoline and turbine fuels. When applied to aviation gasoline, this test reveals the presence of water-soluble components such as alcohols. When applied to aviation turbine fuels, this test method is not reliable in revealing the presence of […]

We perform testing by ASTM D1078 to determine the distillation range of volatile organic liquids, such as lacquer solvents and diluents. Distillation by ASTM D1078 covers the determination of the distillation range of liquids boiling between 30 and 350C that are chemically stable during the distillation process. This test is applicable to organic liquids such […]

We perform salt spray corrosion testing on lubricants by ASTM B117 to measure the corrosion prevention properties of lubricants on metal in humid conditions. This test is often used in quality control to measure the effectiveness of lubricants in preventing rust. A metal test coupon is coated with the sample (typically a lubricant or […]
