Ebook: Significance of Tests for Petroleum Products

This book provides the latest analytical procedures and specifications for a vast range of petroleum products. All tests are designed to measure product properties so that the "quality" of that product may be described. This book also cross-references and lists ISO, API, OECD, IP, EPA, DIN, and EPS methods, and contains 24 comprehensive chapters addressing sampling techniques, fuel oxygenates, automotive engine oils, lubricant base fluids, and more. All chapters, with the exception of Chapter 21, have been updated to reflect new specifications and testing methods since test procedures and protocols have been essentially unchanged since the last edition.
