  • ELASTOMER COMPATIBILITY OF LUBRICATING GREASES AND FLUIDS: D4289 ELASTOMER COMPATIBILITY OF LUBRICATING GREASES AND FLUIDS: D4289EXPLANATIONMeasurement of changes in the volume and hardness of an elastomer that occur from immersion in a lubricating grease or fluid provide a means of evaluating relative compatibility. Much of this test method is derived from Test Method ...
  • DUST CONTROL MATERIAL ON CALCINED PETROLEUM COKE: D4930 DUST CONTROL MATERIAL ON CALCINED PETROLEUM COKE: D4930EXPLANATIONThe dust control material is applied to calcined coke to help maintain a dust free environment. It adds weight to the coke and can have a negative effect on the quality of carbon and graphite artifacts made from the treated coke. Hence, ...
  • DROPPING POINT OF LUBRICATING GREASE: D2265 DROPPING POINT OF LUBRICATING GREASE: D2265TEST SUMMARYA grease sample in a test cup is supported in a test tube placed in an aluminum block oven at a preset constant temperature. A thermometer is positioned in the cup so that it measures the temperature without coming in contact with the grease. As ...
  • DROPPING POINT OF LUBRICATING GREASE: D566 DROPPING POINT OF LUBRICATING GREASE: D566(Equivalent Tests: IP 132 and ISO 2176)TEST SUMMARYThis test method is not recommended for temperatures above 288° C. In those cases, use Test Method D2265. A sample of lubricating grease contained in a cup suspended in a test tube is heated in an oil bath at ...
  • DROPPING POINT DROPPING POINTGENERALThe dropping point is the temperature at which the grease passes from a semisolid to a liquid state. This change in state is typical of greases containing soaps of conventional types added as thickeners. These tests are useful in identifying the types of greases and for establishing ...
  • DIMETHYLFORMAMIDE OF TAR AND PITCH: D2764 DIMETHYLFORMAMIDE OF TAR AND PITCH: D2764EXPLANATIONThis test method is used in evaluating and characterizing tars and pitches and as one element in establishing the uniformity of shipments or sources of supply. It is a rapid and reasonably accurate measure of the toluene insoluble (TI) content of tar ...
  • DISTILLATION OF PITCH: D2569 DISTILLATION OF PITCH: D2569This test method for the distillation of pitch can be used when the amount of distillate below 270° C is <2 %.TEST SUMMARYA 100-g sample is distilled from an electrically heated flask in a shield at a designated rate. The weight of distillate fractions at specified temperatures ...
  • DISTILLATION AT REDUCED PRESSURE: D1160 DISTILLATION AT REDUCED PRESSURE: D1160(Equivalent Test Method: ISO 6616)This test method is used for the determination of the distillation characteristics of petroleum products and fractions that may decompose if distilled at atmospheric pressure. Both a manual and and an automatic method are included. ...
  • DISTILLATION OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS: D86 DISTILLATION OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS: D86(Equivalent Test Methods: IP 123, ISO 3405, DIN 51751, JIS K 2254, and AFNOR M07-002)EXPLANATIONDistillation (volatility) properties of petroleum products are indicative of their performance. The empirical results obtained by this test method have been found to ...
  • DISTILLATION OF HEAVY HYDROCARBON MIXTURES: D5236 DISTILLATION OF HEAVY HYDROCARBON MIXTURES: D5236This is a complex procedure involving many interacting variables. It is most important that at the time of first use of a new apparatus, its components be checked in detail as described in the method. This method describes a procedure for distilling heavy ...
