ASTM D1839 – Standard Test Method for Amyl Nitrate in Diesel Fuels (Withdrawn 2019) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 In diesel fuel, the presence of alkyl nitrates such as amyl nitrate, hexyl nitrate, or octyl nitrate causes a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ASTM D1837 – Standard Test Method for Volatility of Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gases (Withdrawn 2017) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Volatility, expressed in terms of the 95 % evaporated temperature of the product, is a measure of the amount of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 D1824 – Standard Test Method for Apparent Viscosity of Plastisols and Organosols at Low Shear Rates Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The suitability of a dispersion resin for any given application process is dependent upon its viscosity characteristics. 5.2 The viscosity defines the flow behavior of a plastisol or organosol under low shear. This viscosity relates …
ASTM D1822 – Standard Test Method for Determining the Tensile-Impact Resistance of Plastics Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Tensile-impact energy is the energy required to break a standard tension-impact specimen in tension by a single swing of a standard calibrated pendulum under a set of standard conditions (see Note 2). To compensate for the minor differences in …
ASTM D1816 – Standard Test Method for Dielectric Breakdown Voltage of Insulating Liquids Using VDE Electrodes Description: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean vulputate laoreet volutpat. Proin Significance and Use 3.1 The dielectric breakdown voltage of an insulating liquid is of importance as a measure of the liquid’s ability to withstand electric stress …
