ASTM D1093 – Standard Test Method for Acidity of Hydrocarbon Liquids and Their Distillation Residues Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Some petroleum products are treated with mineral acid as part of the refining procedure. Obviously, any residual mineral acid in a petroleum product is undesirable. The absence of a positive indication in the test for acidity …
ASTM D1092 – Standard Test Method for Measuring Apparent Viscosity of Lubricating Greases Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Apparent viscosity versus shear rate information can be useful in predicting pressure drops in grease distribution systems under steady-state flow conditions at constant temperature. Scope 1.1 This test method covers measurement, in poises, of the apparent viscosity of lubricating …
ASTM D1091 – Standard Test Methods for Phosphorus in Lubricating Oils and Additives (Withdrawn 2021) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Knowledge of the phosphorus content, and thus the phosphorus-containing additives, in a lubricating oil or additive can be used to predict performance characteristics. This test method is suitable for most applications requiring the determination of phosphorus. …
ASTM D1084 – Standard Test Methods for Viscosity of Adhesives Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Several test methods are noted for viscosity determination of Newtonian and near Newtonian flow characteristics. (For adhesives not fitting into this category, Test Method D2556 should be considered.) Four test methods are covered as follows: 4.1.1 Method A is applicable only to adhesives that will …
ASTM D1078 – Standard Test Method for Distillation Range of Volatile Organic Liquids Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides a method of measurement of distillation range of volatile organic liquids. The relative volatility of organic liquids can be used with other tests for identification and measurement of quality. Therefore, this test method provides …
ASTM D1072 – Standard Test Method for Total Sulfur in Fuel Gases by Combustion and Barium Chloride Titration Description: Abstract This test method is for the determination of total sulfur in combustible fuel gases and is applicable to natural gases, manufactured gases, mixed gases, and other miscellaneous gaseous fuels. For the use of barium chloride …
ASTM D1070 – Standard Test Methods for Relative Density of Gaseous Fuels Description: Significance and Use 5.1 These test methods provide accurate and reliable methods to measure the relative density of gaseous fuels on an intermittent or continuous basis. These measurements are frequently used for regulatory or contract compliance custody transfer and process control. Scope 1.1 These …
ASTM D1067 – Standard Test Methods for Acidity or Alkalinity of Water Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Acidity and alkalinity measurements are used to assist in establishing levels of chemical treatment to control scale, corrosion, and other adverse chemical equilibria. 4.2 Levels of acidity or alkalinity are critical in establishing solubilities of some metals, toxicity of some …
ASTM D1062 – Standard Test Method for Cleavage Strength of Metal-to-Metal Adhesive Bonds Description: Abstract This test method covers the determination of the comparative cleavage strength properties of metal-to-metal adhesive bonds. The testing machine shall be capable of maintaining the rate of loading and shall compose of fixed member, movable member, and grips. Test specimens …
ASTM D1059 – Standard Test Method for Yarn Number Based on Short-Length Specimens Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This is a quick method used for the determination of the approximate yarn number of short-length specimens taken from packages or fabrics. 5.2 Because any error present in the reported length of the specimen is multiplied many times when …
