  • FLASH POINT BY CONTINUOUSLY CLOSED CUP TESTER (CCFP): D6450 FLASH POINT BY CONTINUOUSLY CLOSED CUP TESTER (CCFP): D6450EXPLANATIONThis test method covers the determination of the flash point of fuel oils, lube oils, solvents, and other liquids by a continuously closed cup tester. The measurement is made on a test specimen of 1 mL. This test method utilizes a ...
  • FLASH POINT FLASH POINTGENERALThe lowest temperature corrected to a barometric pressure of 101.3 kPa (760 mmHg), at which application of a test flame causes the vapor of a sample to ignite under specified test conditions. The sample is deemed to have flashed when a large flame appears and instantaneously propagates ...
  • FUEL INJECTOR SHEAR STABILITY TEST (FISST) FOR POLYMER CONTAINING FLUIDS: D5275 FUEL INJECTOR SHEAR STABILITY TEST (FISST) FOR POLYMER CONTAINING FLUIDS: D5275(Equivalent Test Methods: IP 294 and DIN 51382)EXPLANATIONThis test method evaluates the percent viscosity loss for polymer-containing fluids resulting from polymer degradation in the high shear nozzle device. Minimum interference ...
  • DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN FLAMMABILITY RATINGS: D6668 DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN FLAMMABILITY RATINGS: D6668EXPLANATIONThis test method covers a means for the discrimination between solid and liquid materials which will not burn in air when exposed to a temperature of 1500° F for a period of 5 min and those which will ignite and burn under the same conditions. ...
  • FILTERABILITY OF ENGINE OILS AFTER TREATMENT WITH WATER AND DRY ICE: D6795 FILTERABILITY OF ENGINE OILS AFTER TREATMENT WITH WATER AND DRY ICE: D6795EXPLANATIONSee D6794 regarding the significance of this test method.TEST SUMMARYThe test oil is treated with deionized water and dry ice, and is heated for 30 min at 70° C, followed by storage at room temperature. The sample is ...
  • FILTERABILITY OF ENGINE OILS AFTER TREATMENT WITH WATER: D6794 FILTERABILITY OF ENGINE OILS AFTER TREATMENT WITH WATER: D6794EXPLANATIONUsually some of the combustion products of an internal combustion engine penetrate into the engine lubricant and are retained in it. When the engine is stored over a long period of time after running for a short period of time, ...
  • FILTERABILITY OF DISTILLATE FUEL OILS: D6426 FILTERABILITY OF DISTILLATE FUEL OILS: D6426EXPLANATIONA change in filtration performance after storage, pretreatment, or commingling can be indicative of changes in fuel condition. Relative filterability of fuels may vary depending on filter porosity and structure and may not always correlate with results ...
  • FILTERABILITY OF DIESEL FUELS BY LTFT: D4539 FILTERABILITY OF DIESEL FUELS BY LTFT: D4539EXPLANATIONThe low temperature flow test (LTFT) results are indicative of the low temperature flow performance of fuel in some diesel vehicles. This test method is especially useful for the evaluation of fuels containing flow improver additives.TEST SUMMARYThe ...
  • FILTERABILITY OF AVIATION TURBINE FUEL: D6824 FILTERABILITY OF AVIATION TURBINE FUEL: D6824EXPLANATIONThis test method is intended for use in the laboratory or field in evaluating cleanliness of aviation turbine fuel. A change in filtration performance after storage, pretreatment, or commingling can be indicative of changes in fuel condition. Relative ...
  • FILTER PLUGGING TENDENCY OF DISTILLATE FUEL OILS: D2068 FILTER PLUGGING TENDENCY OF DISTILLATE FUEL OILS: D2068EXPLANATIONCauses of poor filterability might include fuel degradation products, contaminants picked up during storage or transfer, or interaction of the fuel with the filter media. A change in filter performance after storage or pretreatment can ...
