ASTM D187 – Standard Test Method for Burning Quality of Kerosene Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Since the information provided by this test method is largely qualitative in nature, specific limits covering the following characteristics are required in referring to this test method in specifications for kerosene: 5.1.1 Duration of the test: 16 h is understood, if not …
ASTM D1857 – Standard Test Method for Fusibility of Coal and Coke Ash Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The design of most coal combustion and coal conversion equipment anticipates that the ash either remain solid or assume some degree of fluidity, depending on the particular design. Ash fusibility temperatures help predict whether the ash will perform …
ASTM D1849 – Standard Test Method for Package Stability of Paint Description: Abstract This test method covers the procedures for testing the package stability of liquid paint by determining the change in consistency and certain other properties of the solvent- or water-reducible type paint when stored above a certain temperature. Test equipment include spatula, viscometer, …
ASTM D1840 – Standard Test Method for Naphthalene Hydrocarbons in Aviation Turbine Fuels by Ultraviolet Spectrophotometry Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method for naphthalene hydrocarbons is one of a group of tests used to assess the combustion characteristics of aviation turbine fuels of the kerosene boiling range. The naphthalene hydrocarbon content is determined because …
ASTM D1839 – Standard Test Method for Amyl Nitrate in Diesel Fuels (Withdrawn 2019) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 In diesel fuel, the presence of alkyl nitrates such as amyl nitrate, hexyl nitrate, or octyl nitrate causes a higher residue value than observed in untreated fuel, which can lead to erroneous conclusions as to the coke …
ASTM D1838 – Standard Test Method for Copper Strip Corrosion by Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gases Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Copper corrosion limits provide assurance that difficulties will not be experienced in deterioration of the copper and copper-alloy fittings and connections that are commonly used in many types of utilization, storage, and transportation equipment. Scope 1.1 This …
ASTM D1837 – Standard Test Method for Volatility of Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gases (Withdrawn 2017) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Volatility, expressed in terms of the 95 % evaporated temperature of the product, is a measure of the amount of least volatile components present in the product. Coupled with a vapor pressure limit, it serves to ensure …
ASTM D1835 – Standard Specification for Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gases Description: Abstract This specification covers liquefied petroleum gases consisting of propane, propene (propylene), butane, and mixtures of these materials. The products are intended for use as domestic, commercial and industrial heating, and engine fuels. Care must be taken to in sampling of the liquefied gases …
ASTM D1831 – Standard Test Method for Roll Stability of Lubricating Grease Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The roll stability test is widely used in specifications. Test results are significant insofar as they can show a directional change in consistency that could occur in service. No accurate correlation is established between the test results and shear …
ASTM D1835 – Standard Specification for Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gases Description: Abstract This specification covers liquefied petroleum gases consisting of propane, propene (propylene), butane, and mixtures of these materials. The products are intended for use as domestic, commercial and industrial heating, and engine fuels. Care must be taken to in sampling of the liquefied gases …
