6. Understanding Technical Properties
Density at 15°C and 30°C
Density indicates the mass of a liquid per unit volume at a specified temperature. It is useful for product identification, inventory calculations, and commercial volume-to-mass conversions.
The reference results are 0.8848 g/cm³ at 15°C and 0.8754 g/cm³ at 30°C.
These results should be verified as the original laboratory report, including sample identification and temperature conditions.
Kinematic Viscosity at 40°C and 100°C
Kinematic viscosity measures a liquid’s resistance to flow under specified conditions. It is one of the key parameters used to characterize base oils and evaluate their suitability for lubricant formulations.
The supplied reference values are:
- At 40°C: 96.04 cSt
- At 100°C: 10.84 cSt
The 40°C result is particularly relevant to the viscosity classification of many lubricant base stocks. However, these values alone are not sufficient to establish whether the sample is SN 150 or SN 500. The reported viscosity at 40°C is higher than expected for conventional SN 150 and lower than commonly expected for conventional SN 500. The product grade therefore requires confirmation against the supplier’s original technical data sheet.
Pour Point: -9°C
The pour point is an indicator of the lowest temperature at which a petroleum product continues to exhibit movement under the specified test conditions.
A reported pour point of -9°C provides a reference for assessing low-temperature handling characteristics. Actual operating suitability depends on the application and the product’s other low-temperature properties.
Viscosity Index: 96
The viscosity index indicates how strongly an oil’s viscosity changes with temperature. A higher index generally indicates a smaller relative change in viscosity over the temperature range used for the calculation.
The supplied result is 96. This value should be interpreted alongside viscosity measurements and the intended lubricant formulation.
Sulfur Content: 0.363% of Weight
Sulfur content is an important compositional parameter in petroleum products. Its significance depends on the product type, refining process, intended application, and applicable product specifications.
The supplied result is 0.363% by weight. Buyers should confirm the acceptable sulfur level for their intended application.
ASTM Color: L0.5
ASTM color provides a standardized visual indication of the color of petroleum products. Color can be useful for product identification and quality monitoring, but it does not independently establish overall quality or performance.
The supplied reference result is L0.5. The original laboratory report should be consulted to confirm the exact notation.
Total Acid Number: 0.02 mg KOH/g
Total acid number indicates the amount of potassium hydroxide required to neutralize acidic constituents in a sample, expressed per gram of sample.
The reported value is 0.02 mg KOH/g. This result can contribute to quality assessment when considered alongside other relevant tests.
Flash Point: 258°C
Flash point is the temperature at which a product produces sufficient vapor to ignite under the specified test conditions.
The supplied Cleveland Open Cup result is 258°C. This property contributes to handling and safety assessments but should not be used as the sole basis for determining transport or storage requirements.
Carbon Residue: 0.04% of Weight
Carbon residue is an indicator of the residue formed under specified thermal testing conditions. It can contribute to assessments of a petroleum product’s tendency to leave carbonaceous deposits.
The reported reference value is 0.04% by weight.
Water Content: 0.00% by Volume
Water content is important in assessing product cleanliness and suitability for many lubricant applications.
The supplied result is 0.00% by volume. This should be understood as the reported test result, subject to the test method’s detection limit and reporting precision.
Appearance: Bright & Clear
The sample was reported as bright and clear on visual examination. This describes its observed appearance and does not independently confirm the absence of every possible contaminant.
Aniline Point: 109.25°C
Aniline point is a laboratory property used in evaluating the mutual solubility behavior of aniline and petroleum products. It can provide information relevant to hydrocarbon composition and solvent characteristics.
The supplied reference result is 109.25°C.
