  • IRON CHIP CORROSION FOR WATER DILUTABLE METAL WORKING FLUIDS: ASTM D4627 IRON CHIP CORROSION FOR WATER DILUTABLE METAL WORKING FLUIDS: ASTM D4627EXPLANATIONThis test method evaluates the ferrous corrosion control characteristics of water-dilutable metalworking fluids. The results obtained by this test method are a useful guideline in determining the ability of water-diluted ...
  • IODINE NUMBER: ASTM D2078 IODINE NUMBER: ASTM D2078EXPLANATIONIodine value is a measure of the unsaturation of the alkyl group or groups expressed in terms of percent iodine absorbed. This test method measures the unsaturation as iodine value in fatty quaternary ammonium chlorides by addition of an iodine/chlorine reagent. The ...
  • INSOLUBLES IN USED LUBRICATING OILS BY PAPER FILTERATION (LMOA METHOD): ASTM D73 INSOLUBLES IN USED LUBRICATING OILS BY PAPER FILTERATION (LMOA METHOD): ASTM D7317EXPLANATIONCoagulated pentane insolubles can include oil-insoluble materials, some oil-insoluble resinous matter originating from oil or additive degradation, soot from incomplete diesel fuel combustion, or a combination ...
  • INSOLUBLES IN USED LUBRICATING OILS: ASTM D893 INSOLUBLES IN USED LUBRICATING OILS: ASTM D893EXPLANATIONThis test method covers the determination of pentane and toluene insolubles in used lubricating oils. Pentane insolubles can include oil-insoluble materials and some oil-insoluble resinous matter originating from oil or additive degradation, or ...
  • PENTANE INSOLUBLES BY MEMBRANE FILTRATION: ASTM D4055 PENTANE INSOLUBLES BY MEMBRANE FILTRATION: ASTM D4055EXPLANATIONPentane insolubles above 0.8 μm in size may lead to increased wear that can lead to premature equipment failure in critical applications. This test method covers the determination of pentane insolubles for particles exceeding 0.8 μm in ...
  • INSOLUBLES IN HYDRAULIC FLUIDS: ASTM D4898 INSOLUBLES IN HYDRAULIC FLUIDS: ASTM D4898EXPLANATIONThis test method indicates and measures the amount of insoluble contamination of hydraulic fluids. Minimizing the levels of insoluble contamination of hydraulic fluids is essential for the satisfactory performance and long life of the equipment. Insoluble ...
