We conduct analyses and tests on fuels, mixtures of hydrocarbons, mineral oils, petroleum (propulsion, heating, and shipping), and lubricants for quality control and product certification.
Routine assays and tests include:
- Cetane Index
- Density
- Flashpoint
- Carbon residue
- Ash
- Water content
- Detection of tetraethylic lead (contamination of unleaded gasoline with super)
- Sulfur content
- Suspended solids
- Viscosity
- Distillate at 250°C, 350°C and 95% (v/v)
- Cold filter plugging temperature(CFPP)
- Qualitative detection of solvent yellow 124 (tracer of heating oil)
- Qualitative detection of quinizarin (tracer of shipping oil)
- Copper corrosion
- Additional assays upon request
