Process description
Density
ASTM D1298-12b
Use of a hydrometer placed in a constant temperature bath.
Kinematic viscosity
ASTM D445-15
Use of a calibrated glass viscosity tube submerged in a water bath at 40°C.
Flash point
ASTM D93-15a
Use of the Pensky–Martens closed test cup filled up to its mark with the test sample. The temperature shall be at least 18 °C below the expected flash point for the test sample and the cup.
Pour point
ASTM D97-15
Use of the test jar glass that held the sample. Samples are first heated and then cooled at a specific rate at decrements of 3°C. The temperature 3°C above the point the oil stops moving is noted as the pour point.
Higher heating value
ASTM -E711
Use of the Parr oxygen bomb calorimeter.
Sulphur content
ASTMD7039-15a
Method based on measurement of the specific wavelength from excitation of sulphur, which can accurately measure the concentrations of sulphur from 2 to 500 ppm.
