Understand the scientific principles and analytical methods used in petroleum and laboratory testing, including moisture analysis, flash point determination, viscosity measurement, particle counting, sulfur analysis, and more.
What Is an Automatic Kinematic Viscometer? An automatic kinematic viscometer is a precision instrument that measures the kinematic viscosity of fluids — primarily petroleum products, lubricants, and fuel oils — according to ASTM D445 and related standards. Unlike manual capillary viscometers that require constant operator attention and manual timing, automatic systems handle sample injection, temperature … Read more
ASTM D445 ISO 3104 ASTM D445 is the standard test method for determining the kinematic viscosity of liquid petroleum products, both transparent and opaque. It is one of the most widely referenced ASTM standards in the petroleum industry, essential for quality control, product specification, and research across the oil supply chain — from crude oil … Read more
✅ ASTM D86 Compliant ✅ ISO 3405 Equivalent ✅ IP 123 Compliant Distillation testing is one of the most fundamental and informative analyses performed on petroleum products. The boiling range of a fuel or oil determines its performance characteristics from engine starting behavior to combustion efficiency. ASTM D86, the standard test method for distillation of … Read more
