A proposed ASTM International standard will allow workers fueling vehicles and aircraft to test levels of microbial contamination before beginning the fueling process, thus avoiding the costs of decontaminating vehicle fuel tanks. The proposed new method — WK48076, Test ...
The goal was to create a new standard that has its roots in the Austrian method, but allows modification for North American use. The resulting standard defines a class of masonry heaters and mathematically predicts their emissions performance, allowing verification without costly laboratory testing. ...
While these new technical features improve ease of use of the instrument, application of methods on the new 893 Professional Biodiesel Rancimat stays the same, namely the most important international standard methods: EN 14112 «Fat and oil derivatives – Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) – Determination of oxidation stability (accelerated ...
The requirements specified for diesel fuel oils shall be determined in accordance with the following test methods: flash point; cloud point; water and sediment; carbon residue; ash; distillation; viscosity; sulfur; copper corrosion; cetane number; cetane index; aromaticity; lubricity; and conductivity. ...
This test method is applicable to materials in the same boiling range as motor diesel fuels and is unaffected by fuel coloration. ...
On this basis, it can be concluded that Test Method D86 is applicable to ethanol-fuel blends such as Ed75 and Ed85 (Specification D5798) or other ethanol-fuel blends with greater than 10 v% ethanol. See ASTM RR:D02-1694 for supporting data. 1.2 The test method is designed for the analysis of ...
The distillation (volatility) characteristics of hydrocarbons have an important effect on their safety and performance, especially in the case of fuels and solvents. The boiling range gives information on the composition, the properties, and the behavior of the fuel during storage and use. ...
The specification is under continuous review, which can result in revisions based on changes in fuel, automotive requirements, or test methods, or a combination thereof. ...
As it pertains to the API SL engine oil category, it is based on engine test results that generally have been correlated with results obtained on reference oils run in gasoline engine Sequence Tests that defined engine oil categories prior to 2000. ...
The ID and DCN values determined by this test method can provide a measure of the ignition characteristics of diesel fuel oil in compression ignition engines. ...
The ID and DCN values determined by this test method can provide a measure of the ignition characteristics of diesel fuel oil in compression ignition engines. ...
This test method was developed to evaluate the wear performance of engine oils in turbocharged and intercooled four-cycle diesel engines equipped with EGR and running on ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel. ...
The design of the engine used in this test method is representative of many, but not all, modern diesel engines. This factor, along with the accelerated operating conditions, shall be considered when extrapolating test results. 1. Scope 1.1 This test method, commonly referred to as the ...
Driveability, vapor pressure, phase separation, and evaporative emissions are some of the concerns associated with oxygenated fuels. This test method is faster, simpler, less expensive and more portable than current methods. This test method may be applicable for quality control in ...
As it pertains to the API SL engine oil category, it is based on engine test results that generally have been correlated with results obtained on reference oils run in gasoline engine Sequence Tests that defined engine oil categories prior to 2000. ...
This test method may be used for engine oil specification acceptance when all details of this test method are in compliance. ...
Scope 1.1 This laboratory test method covers the quantitative determination of the knock rating of liquid spark-ignition engine fuel in terms of Research O.N., except that this test method may not be applicable to fuel and fuel components that are ...
Significance and Use Test Method—The data obtained from the use of this test method provide a comparative index of the fuel-saving capabilities of automotive engine oils under repeatable laboratory conditions. ...
The Specification D6751 value of 360°C max at 90 % off by Test Method D1160 was incorporated as an precaution to ensure the fuel has not been adulterated with high boiling contaminants. 1. ...
Scope 1.1 This laboratory test method covers the quantitative determination of the knock rating of liquid spark-ignition engine fuel in terms of Motor octane number except that this test method may not be applicable to fuel and fuel components ...
