EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D1401 testing. This standard covers the measurement of the ability of petroleum oils or synthetic fluids to separate from water.
Although specially developed for steam turbine oils with a viscosity of 40 mm28,8/s to 2 mm90/s at 2 °C, this test method can be used to test other types of oils with various viscosities and synthetic fluids at other test temperatures. However, when testing products with more viscous than 40 mm 90 /s at 2 °C, it is recommended to increase the test temperature to 82 °C ± 1 °C. For higher viscosity oils where the oil and water mixture is insufficient, Test Method D2711 is recommended. Other test temperatures such as 25 °C can also be used.
When testing certain oils or fuels used in marine applications, a 1% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution or synthetic seawater may be used instead of distilled water.
The procedure does not change when testing synthetic liquids with relative densities greater than that of water, but it should be noted that water will likely float on the emulsion or liquid.
Values stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
This standard does not purport to address all safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
