Standard methods for physical property analysis.

Physical propertyMethodProcess description

DensityASTM D1298-12bUse of a hydrometer placed in a constant temperature bath.
Kinematic viscosityASTM D445-15Use of a calibrated glass viscosity tube submerged in a water bath at 40°C.
Flash pointASTM D93-15aUse 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 pointASTM D97-15Use 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 valueASTM -E711Use of the Parr oxygen bomb calorimeter.
Sulphur contentASTMD7039-15aMethod based on measurement of the specific wavelength from excitation of sulphur, which can accurately measure the concentrations of sulphur from 2 to 500 ppm.
