ASTM D3607 Test Method for Removing Volatile Contaminants from Used Engine Oils
ASTM D3607 Standard Test Method for Removing Volatile Contaminants from Used Engine Oils by Stripping
4. Summary of Test Method
4.1 A known weight of sample is heated to 90°C under a nitrogen flow for 4.5 h, cooled, and reweighed.
5. Significance and Use
5.1 The removal of volatile materials such as gasoline dilution from used engine oils is especially important if the mechanical shear stability or oxidative stability of the oil is being monitored by measuring a kinematic viscosity change in the oil after it has been used in a gasoline engine.
