ASTM D3256 – Standard Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of Phthalocyanine Blue and Green Pigments Description: Significance and Use 3.1 These test methods are suitable for determining if impurities are present and establishing that the required pigments are present. These test methods may be used for manufacturing and purchasing quality control. Scope 1.1 These test methods cover …
ASTM D3246 – Standard Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum Gas by Oxidative Microcoulometry (Withdrawn 2024) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Trace quantities of sulfur compounds in hydrocarbon products can be harmful to many catalytic chemical processes in which these products are used. Maximum permissible levels of total sulfur are normally included in specifications for such …
ASTM D3245 – Standard Test Method for Pumpability of Industrial Fuel Oils (Withdrawn 2010) Description: Significance and Use This test method is designed to give an indication of the minimum storage and minimum handling temperatures which may be used for a given fuel oil. This test method is cited in Specification D 396. Scope 1.1 …
ASTM D3242 – Standard Test Method for Acidity in Aviation Turbine Fuel Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Some acids can be present in aviation turbine fuels due either to the acid treatment during the refining process or to naturally occurring organic acids. Significant acid contamination is not likely to be present because of the many check …
ASTM D3241 – Standard Test Method for Thermal Oxidation Stability of Aviation Turbine Fuels Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The test results are indicative of fuel performance during gas turbine operation and can be used to assess the level of deposits that form when liquid fuel contacts a heated surface that is at a specified temperature. …
ASTM D3240 – Standard Test Method for Undissolved Water In Aviation Turbine Fuels Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Undissolved (free) water in aviation fuel can encourage the growth of microorganisms and subsequent corrosion in the tanks of aircraft and can also lead to icing of filters in the fuel system. Control of free water is exercised …
ASTM D3239 – Standard Test Method for Aromatic Types Analysis of Gas-Oil Aromatic Fractions by High Ionizing Voltage Mass Spectrometry (Withdrawn 2023) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 A knowledge of the hydrocarbon composition of process streams and petroleum products boiling within the range 205 °C to 540 °C (400 °F to 1000 °F) is useful in following the effect of …
ASTM D3238 – Standard Test Method for Calculation of Carbon Distribution and Structural Group Analysis of Petroleum Oils by the n-d-M Method Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The carbon distribution and ring content serve to express the gross composition of the heavier fractions of petroleum. These data can be used as an adjunct to the bulk …
ASTM D3237 – Standard Test Method for Lead in Gasoline by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is used to ensure compliance of trace lead as required by federal regulation for lead-free gasoline (40 CFR part 80). Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of the total lead content of gasoline …
ASTM D3235 – Standard Test Method for Solvent Extractables in Petroleum Waxes Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The 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 characteristics. Whether these effects are desirable or …
