  • LOAD-CARRYING CAPACITY OF GREASES: ASTM D2509 LOAD-CARRYING CAPACITY OF GREASES: ASTM D2509EXPLANATIONThis test method is widely used for specification purposes and is used to differentiate between greases having low, medium, or high levels of extreme pressure characteristics. The test results may not correlate with results from service. The test ...
  • LITHIUM AND SODIUM IN GREASES BY FLAME PHOTOMETER: ASTM D3340 LITHIUM AND SODIUM IN GREASES BY FLAME PHOTOMETER: ASTM D3340EXPLANATIONLubricating greases can contain the lithium soap of hydroxy stearic acid or the sodium soap of various fatty acids as thickeners. The determination of total lithium or sodium is a measure of the amount of thickener in the grease. ...
  • LINEAR FLAME PROPAGATION RATE OF LUBE OILS AND HYDRAULIC FLUIDS: ASTM D5306 LINEAR FLAME PROPAGATION RATE OF LUBE OILS AND HYDRAULIC FLUIDS: ASTM D5306EXPLANATIONThe linear flame propagation rate of a sample is a property that is relevant to the overall assessment of flammability or relative ignitability of fire resistance lubricants and hydraulic fluids. It is intended to be ...
  • LIFE PERFORMANCE OF GREASES: ASTM D3527 LIFE PERFORMANCE OF GREASES: ASTM D3527EXPLANATIONThis test method differentiates among wheel bearing greases having distinctly different high temperature characteristics. It is not the equivalent of long-time service tests, nor is it intended to distinguish between the products having similar high-performance ...
  • LEAKAGE TENDENCIES OF GREASES: ASTM D4290 LEAKAGE TENDENCIES OF GREASES: ASTM D4290EXPLANATIONThis test method differentiates among wheel bearing greases having distinctly different high temperature leakage characteristics. It is not the equivalent of longtime service tests. This test method has proven to be helpful in screening greases with ...
  • LEAKAGE TENDENCIES OF AUTOMOTIVE GREASES: ASTM D1263 LEAKAGE TENDENCIES OF AUTOMOTIVE GREASES: ASTM D1263EXPLANATIONThis test method evaluates the leakage tendencies of wheel bearing greases. This test method provides a screening device that permits differentiation between products having distinctly different leakage characteristics. It is not equivalent ...
  • LEAD DETERMINATION RAPID FIELD TEST FOR TRACE LEAD IN GASOLINE: ASTM D3348 LEAD DETERMINATION RAPID FIELD TEST FOR TRACE LEAD IN GASOLINE: ASTM D3348EXPLANATIONThis test method is based on the use of Mobil lead test kit and is intended for field use by nontechnical personnel, for the quantitative measurement of lead in unleaded gasoline in the range from 2.64 to 26.4 mg Pb/L. ...
  • LEAD DETERMINATION IN GASOLINE BY X-RAY FLUORESCENCE (XRS): ASTM D5059 LEAD DETERMINATION IN GASOLINE BY X-RAY FLUORESCENCE (XRS): ASTM D5059EXPLANATIONThese test methods cover the determination of lead in gasoline in the range of 0.0026 to 1.32 g lead/L. These test methods compensate for the normal variation in gasoline composition and are independent of lead alkyl type. ...
  • LEAD DETERMINATION IN GASOLINE BY IODINE CHLORIDE (ICI) METHOD: ASTM D3341 LEAD DETERMINATION IN GASOLINE BY IODINE CHLORIDE (ICI) METHOD: ASTM D3341(Equivalent Test Methods: IP 270, ISO 3830, DIN 51769 T2, and JIS K 2255)EXPLANATIONThis test method is applicable in the range 0.026 to 1.3 g Pb/L.TEST SUMMARYA known volume of the sample is diluted with heavy distillate, and ...
  • LEAD IN GASOLINE BY ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROMETRY (AAS): ASTM D3237 LEAD IN GASOLINE BY ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROMETRY (AAS): ASTM D3237(Equivalent Test Method: IP 428)EXPLANATIONThis test method is applicable in the range 2.5 to 25 mg lead/L. This test method compensates for variations in gasoline composition and is independent of lead alkyl type.TEST SUMMARYThe gasoline ...
