ASTM MNL 37 : Fuels and Lubricants Handbook : Technology, Properties, Performance, and Testing

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
