  • COPPER STRIP CORROSION BY LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASES: ASTM D1838 COPPER STRIP CORROSION BY LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASES: ASTM D1838EXPLANATIONCopper corrosion limits provide assurance that difficulties will not be experienced in deterioration of the copper and copper-alloy fittings and connections that are commonly used in many types of utilization, storage, and transportation ...
  • COPPER CORROSION: ASTM D849 COPPER CORROSION: ASTM D849TEST SUMMARYA polished copper strip is immersed in 200 mL of specimen in a flask with a condenser and placed in boiling water for 30 min. At the end of this period, the copper strip is removed and compared with the ASTM copper strip corrosion standards.TEST PRECISIONThis is ...
  • COPPER CORROSION: ASTM D130 COPPER CORROSION: ASTM D130(Equivalent Test Methods: IP 154, ISO 2160, DIN 51759, JIS K 2513, and AFNOR M07-015)GENERALThese test methods determine the corrosiveness to copper of various gasolines, fuels, lubricating oils or other hydrocarbons. Most sulfur compounds in petroleum are removed during refining. ...
  • COPPER IN JET FUELS BY GRAPHITE FURNACE ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROMETRY: ASTM D67 COPPER IN JET FUELS BY GRAPHITE FURNACE ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROMETRY: ASTM D6732EXPLANATIONAt high temperatures aviation turbine fuels can oxidize and produce insoluble deposits that are detrimental to aircraft propulsion systems. Very low copper levels in excess of 50 μg/kg can significantly accelerate ...
  • COOLING CHARACTERISTICS OF QUENCH OILS BY COOLING CURVE ANALYSIS: ASTM D6200 COOLING CHARACTERISTICS OF QUENCH OILS BY COOLING CURVE ANALYSIS: ASTM D6200EXPLANATIONThis test method provides a cooling time versus temperature pathway which is directly proportional to physical properties such as the hardness obtainable upon quenching of a metal. These results may be used as a guide ...
  • CONRADSON CARBON RESIDUE COKING VALUE OF TAR AND PITCH: ASTM D2416 CONRADSON CARBON RESIDUE COKING VALUE OF TAR AND PITCH: ASTM D2416EXPLANATIONThis test method is useful for indicating the relative coke-forming propensities and for evaluating and characterizing tars and pitches. This test method can also be used as one element in establishing the uniformity of shipments ...
  • CONRADSON CARBON RESIDUE OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS: ASTM D189 CONRADSON CARBON RESIDUE OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS: ASTM D189(Equivalent Test Methods: IP 13, ISO 6615, DIN 51551, JIS K 2270, and AFNOR T60-116)EXPLANATIONThe carbon residue value of burner fuel serves as a rough approximation of the tendency of the fuel to form deposits in vaporizing pot-type and sleeve-type ...
  • CONGEALING POINT OF PETROLEUM WAXES AND PETROLATUM: ASTM D938 CONGEALING POINT OF PETROLEUM WAXES AND PETROLATUM: ASTM D938(Equivalent Tests: IP 76, ISO 2207, and AFNOR T60-128)EXPLANATIONCongealing point is a wax property of interest to many petroleum wax consumers. This procedure measures the temperature at which a sample being cooled develops a "set" or resistance ...
  • CONE PENETRATION OF PETROLATUM: ASTM D937 CONE PENETRATION OF PETROLATUM: ASTM D937(Equivalent Tests: IP 179, DIN 51580, and AFNOR T60-119)EXPLANATIONPetrolatum is a purified mixture of semi-solid hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum and is often described as an unctuous mass. Cone penetration is a means of measuring the firmness of consistency ...
  • CONE PENETRATION OF LUBRICATING GREASE: ASTM D1403 CONE PENETRATION OF LUBRICATING GREASE: ASTM D1403(Equivalent Tests: IP 310 and AFNOR T60-140)EXPLANATIONSee discussion under Test Method ASTM D217. The current method is intended for use only when the size of the sample is limited. Precision is better in the full scale method.These test methods include ...
