Fuels and Lubricants Handbook: Technology, Properties, Performance, and Testing (Astm Manual Series, Mnl 37) - gebunden oder broschiert

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; and 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
