Manual of significance of tests for petroleum products

Book ·
OSTI ID:6441782
This book presents a guide on the significance of tests for petroleum and petroleum products is no simple matter. Test methods define product quality, in turn, can be defined as the fitness of the material for its intended use. Many well-established test procedures, which at one time may have afforded an adequate quality assessment of raw materials or end products or both, have become obsolete and produce results of limited significance. A number of these testing procedures have been replaced by radically different tests and analytical procedures that provide more accurate and meaningful appraisal of the qualities of materials. Other prospective new methods are being examined or under development.
