1.1 This test method covers the storage stability of liquid water-emulsion floor polishes. 1.2 Storage for 30 days at 52?°C (125?°F), while not a guarantee of one year stability at 21?°C (70?°F), is believed to be a more reliable indicator of storage stability than similar tests of shorter duration...
1.1 This test method covers the determination of total sediment up to 0.40 ?% m/m for distillate fuel oils containing residual components and to 0.50?% m/m in residual fuel oils having a maximum viscosity of 55 cSt (mm2/s) at 100?°C. Some fuels can exceed the maximum filtration time...
5.1 This test method was developed to evaluate automotive engine oils for protection against oil thickening and piston deposits during moderately high-speed, hightemperature service. 5.1.1 The increase in kinematic viscosity of the oil indicates the tendency of an oil to thicken because of...
5.1 Diesel fuel injection equipment has some reliance on lubricating properties of the diesel fuel. Shortened life of engine components, such as diesel fuel injection pumps and injectors, has sometimes been ascribed to lack of lubricity in a diesel fuel. 5.2 The trend of HFRR test results to diesel...
5.1 Accurate determination of the gravity of petroleum and its products is necessary for the conversion of measured volumes to volumes at the standard temperature of 60?°F (15.56?°C). 5.2 This procedure is most suitable for determining the API gravity of low viscosity transparent liquids....
