  • DENSITY AND RELATIVE DENSITY OF LIQUIDS BY BINGHAM PYCNOMETER: ASTM D1217 DENSITY AND RELATIVE DENSITY OF LIQUIDS BY BINGHAM PYCNOMETER: ASTM D1217Originally this test method was developed for the determination of density of ASTM Knock Test Reference Fuels with an accuracy of 0.00003 g/mL. Although it is no longer used extensively for that purpose, the method is still useful ...
  • DENSITY AND RELATIVE DENSITY OF LIGHT HYDROCARBONS BY PRESSURE THERMOHYDROMETER: DENSITY AND RELATIVE DENSITY OF LIGHT HYDROCARBONS BY PRESSURE THERMOHYDROMETER: ASTM D1657(Equivalent Test Methods: IP 235, ISO 3993, and AFNOR M41-008)EXPLANATIONThis test method covers the determination of the density or relative density of light hydrocarbons including liquid petroleum gas having ...
  • DENSITY AND RELATIVE DENSITY BY DIGITAL METERS: ASTM D4052 DENSITY AND RELATIVE DENSITY BY DIGITAL METERS: ASTM D4052(Equivalent Test Methods: IP 365, ISO 12185, DIN 51757D, JIS K 2249D, and AFNOR T60-172)EXPLANATIONThis test method uses an automated digital density meter.TEST SUMMARYA small volume (approximately 0.7 mL) of liquid sample is introduced into an ...
  • DENSITY AND RELATIVE DENSITY GRAVITY, SPECIFIC: ASTM D5002 DENSITY AND RELATIVE DENSITY GRAVITY, SPECIFIC: ASTM D5002EXPLANATIONThis test method covers the determination of the density or relative density of crude oils that can be handled in a normal fashion as liquids at test temperatures between 15 and 35° C. This test method applies to crude oils with high ...
  • DENSITY AND RELATIVE DENSITY REAL DENSITY OF CALCINED PETROLEUM COKE: ASTM D5004 DENSITY AND RELATIVE DENSITY REAL DENSITY OF CALCINED PETROLEUM COKE: ASTM D5004TEST SUMMARYThe mass of the sample is determined directly and the volume derived by determining the mass of liquid displaced when the sample is introduced into a pycnometer. Oil or other material sprayed on calcined petroleum ...
  • DENSITY, RELATIVE DENSITY, AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY VIBRATED BULK DENSITY OF CALCINE DENSITY, RELATIVE DENSITY, AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY VIBRATED BULK DENSITY OF CALCINED PETROLEUM COKE: ASTM D4292Vibrated bulk density (VBD) indicates the porosity of calcined petroleum coke, which affects its suitability for use in pitch-bonded carbon applications. This property is strongly dependent upon ...
  • REAL DENSITY OF CALCINED PETROLEUM COKE: ASTM D2638 REAL DENSITY OF CALCINED PETROLEUM COKE: ASTM D2638TEST SUMMARYA sample is dried and ground to pass a 75- μm screen. The mass of the volume is determined directly, and the volume derived by the volume of helium displaced when the sample is introduced into a helium pycnometer. The ratio of the mass of ...
  • DENSITY, RELATIVE DENSITY, AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY DENSITY, RELATIVE DENSITY, AND SPECIFIC GRAVITYGENERALDensity is an important property of petroleum products being part of product specifications. Materials are usually bought and sold on that basis or if on volume basis then converted to mass basis via density measurements. This property is almost synonymously ...
  • DEMULSIBILITY CHARACTERISTICS OF LUBRICATING OILS: ASTM D2711 DEMULSIBILITY CHARACTERISTICS OF LUBRICATING OILS: ASTM D2711EXPLANATIONThis test method provides a guide for determining the demulsibility characteristics of lubricating oils that are prone to water contamination and that may encounter the turbulence of pumping and circulation capable of producing water-in-oil ...
