The samples can be analyzed on:
Acid Number, API Gravity, Ash
Content, Asphaltenes, Calc.Carbon Aromaticity Index, Carbon Residue,
Density at 15°C , Flash Point PMcc, Heat of Combustion, Kinematic viscosity
@ 50°C/100°C, Viscosity Stabinger @ 50°C/ 100°C, Nitrogen content, Pour
Point, Sediment by extraction, Total sediment, Total Sulphur Content, Water
by distillation, Water&sediment, Distillation ASTM D1160 performed @ 10
mmHg, CHN-Analyser, Bromine Number, P-Value, Compatibility Rating,
Cleanliness rating, Blend Ratio Used and Several Metals. The deadline for reporting results is set on
19 February 2016. A laboratory that sends in results after deadline will definitely
not get direct feedback in case any of its results are suspect! So be in good time to get the most out of this proficiency test. |
