ASTM MNL37
Manual 37 is a comprehensive, in-depth, well-referenced handbook that provides a detailed overview of ALL of the important ASTM and non-ASTM fuels and lubricants test procedures. Readers will get a thorough overview of the application-related properties being tested and an extensive discussion of the principles behind the tests and their relationship to the properties themselves.
The information is subdivided into four sections:
- Petroleum Refining Processes for Fuels and Lubricant Basestocks
- Fuels
- Hydrocarbons and Synthetic Lubricants
- Performance/Property Testing Procedures
Thirty-eight chapters cover:
- Overview of petroleum oil refining processes
- Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
- Aviation, automotive diesel, non-aviation gas turbine, and marine fuels
- Gasoline and oxygenated fuel blends
- Petroleum hydrocarbons base oil chemistry
- Synthetic hydrocarbons
- Environmentally-friendly fluids including those formulated from vegetable oil and synthetic ester basestocks
- Lubricating oils for turbines, compressors (industrial and refrigeration), gears, and automotive applications
- Metalworking fluids
- Petroleum waxes
- Lubricating greases
- Oils used in non-lubricating applications, such as heat transfer fluids and metal quenchants
- Static petroleum measurement, volatility, elemental analysis, fuel combustion characteristics, oxidation, corrosion, and viscosity
- Properties of coke, petroleum pitch, and carbon materials
- Hydrocarbon structural analysis procedures
- Lubrication and wear
- Environmental and toxicity testing
- Statistical quality assurance testing procedures
A MUST-HAVE for anyone in the industry involved in the formulation, use, and specification of fuels and lubricants
