ASTM D5004 – Standard Test Method for Real Density of Calcined Petroleum Coke by Xylene Displacement Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The density of petroleum coke directly influences the physical and chemical properties of the manufactured carbon and graphite artifacts for which it is used. Density, therefore, is a major quality specification of calcined petroleum coke …
ASTM D5003 – Standard Test Method for Hardgrove Grindability Index (HGI) of Petroleum Coke Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The HGI is used to predict the ranking of raw petroleum cokes or calcined petroleum cokes in industrial size mills used for crushing operations. The rankings are based on energy required and feed rate or both. 5.2 The …
ASTM D5002 – Standard Test Method for Density, Relative Density, and API Gravity of Crude Oils by Digital Density Analyzer Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Density is a fundamental physical property that may be used in conjunction with other properties to characterize the quality of crude oils. 5.2 The density or relative density of crude oils is …
ASTM D5001 – Standard Test Method for Measurement of Lubricity of Aviation Turbine Fuels by the Ball-on-Cylinder Lubricity Evaluator (BOCLE) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Wear due to excessive friction resulting in shortened life of engine components such as fuel pumps and fuel controls has sometimes been ascribed to lack of lubricity in an aviation fuel. …
ASTM D500 – Standard Test Methods of Chemical Analysis of Sulfonated and Sulfated Oils Description: Abstract These test methods cover the chemical analysis of sulfonated and sulfated oils. Water by distillation with volatile solvent and moisture and volatile matter by hot-plate shall be tested to meet the requirements prescribed. Titration test, extraction-titration test, and ash-gravimetric …
ASTM D5 – Standard Test Method for Penetration of Bituminous Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The penetration test is used as a measure of consistency. Higher values of penetration indicate softer consistency. Note 2: The quality of the results produced by this standard are dependent on the competence of the personnel performing the procedure and the …
ASTM D4998 – Standard Test Method for Evaluating Wear Characteristics of Tractor Hydraulic Fluids Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Many modern tractor designs use the hydraulic fluid to lubricate the transmission and final drive gears. This test method is used to assess the suitability of the tractor hydraulic fluids as lubricants for transmission and final drive …
ASTM D4992 – Standard Practice for Evaluation of Rock to be Used for Erosion Control Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The field examination, sampling, and petrographic examination in this practice along with appropriate laboratory testing may be used to determine the suitability of rock for erosion control. Factors to consider include identification and delineation of areas …
ASTM D4986 – Standard Test Method for Horizontal Burning Characteristics of Cellular Polymeric Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides a means of measuring the time and extent of burning for cellular polymeric materials. It also provides a means of measuring burning rates for materials that continue to burn past the specified gage …
ASTM D4985 – Standard Specification for Low Silicate Ethylene Glycol Base Engine Coolant for Heavy Duty Engines Requiring a Pre-Charge of Supplemental Coolant Additive (SCA) Description: Abstract This specification covers the requirements for low silicate ethylene glycol base engine coolants for cooling systems of heavy-duty engines. Such engines are typically used in off-highway machinery for …
