ASTM D893 Test for Insoluble in Used Lubricating Oils

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D893 testing. This standard covers the determination of insoluble pentane and toluenes in used lubricating oils.

It covers the determination of insolubles in pentane without the use of coagulant. It provides an indication of materials that can be easily separated from oil-solvent mixtures by centrifugation.

It covers the determination of insolubles in detergent-containing oils and uses a coagulant for both pentane and toluene insolubles. In addition to the separated materials, this coagulation procedure separates some finely divided materials that may be suspended in the oil.

The results obtained should not be compared as they often give different values. The same procedure should be used when comparing values ​​obtained periodically on an in-use oil or when comparing results determined by two or more laboratories.

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.
