We perform testing by ASTM D525 to determine the stability of gasoline under accelerated oxidation conditions to predict whether it will form gum in storage. Gasoline fuel stored for an extended period of time can suffer from oxidation. This can cause residues and gums to form. These fuel residues and gums can cause serious problems with engines and fuel systems. The induction period may be used as an indication of the tendency of motor gasoline to form gum in storage.
We also perform oxidation stability testing by ASTM D2112, ASTM D2272, ASTM D2274, ASTM D2440, ASTM D7462, ASTM D873, ASTM D942, DIN 51587, EN 15751, IP 142, IP 388, IP 40, ISO 12205, ISO 4623, and ISO 7536. These different test methods use different instruments or procedures or are used for certain sample types. Click on the test method number to learn more about each test.
Sample quantity required: 200 ml
ASTM D525 corresponds to ISO 7536 and IP 40.
