5.1 Some fuel dilution of in-service engine oil is normal under typical operating conditions. However, excessive fuel dilution can lead to decreased performance, premature wear, or sudden engine failure. This test method provides a means of quantifying the level of fuel...
This standard describes a reference method for testing susceptibility to antifungal agents of yeasts that cause infections, including Candida spp. and Cryptococcus spp. The intended users are laboratory personnel who perform antifungal susceptibility testing on yeasts. The focus is on developing...
This guideline provides procedures for establishing, validating, and verifying a dilution scheme to use for obtaining results for patient specimens with measurand concentrations or activity values above a measurement procedure's upper limit of quantitation (ULoQ). This guideline is intended...
5.1 This test method provides a means for a reliable field determination of fuel dilution that is quick and preparation-free. Results are obtained in approximately 1?min. Such a method is used, for example, at remote railroad depots where it is impractical to carry out a standard laboratory...
This test method covers the determination of fuel dilution for in-service engine oil by gas chromatography. Analysis can be performed directly by this test method without pretreatment or dilution of the sample. There is no limitation for the determination of the dilution range,...

This standard describes reference agar disk diffusion techniques, as well as standard broth (macrodilution and microdilution) and agar dilution methods used to determine in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria that grow aerobically. It includes: • Agar plate preparation • Broth and...
This test method is intended for use in analytical laboratories including onsite in-service oil analysis laboratories. Hard particles in lubricating or fluid power systems have a detrimental effect on the system as they cause operating components to wear and also accelerate the...
5.1 Some fuel dilution of the engine oil may take place during normal operation. However, excessive fuel dilution is of concern in terms of possible performance problems. This method provides a means to determine the magnitude of the fuel dilution, providing the user with the...
This test method describes a means for determining the amount of fuel dilution present in an in-service lubricant. This is achieved by drawing into a surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor vapor from the lubricant. Fuel vapor will be absorbed by the SAW sensor's polymer coating. The amount of...
