Standard Test Method for Oxidation Stability of Gasoline (Induction Period Method)
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the stability of gasoline in finished form only, under accelerated oxidation conditions. (Warning
Note 1—For measurement of oxidation stability of gasoline by measurement of potential gum, refer to Test Method D873, or IP Test Method 138.
Note 2—The precision data were developed with gasolines derived from hydrocarbon sources only without oxygenates.
1.2 The accepted SI unit of pressure is the kilo Pascal (kPa), and of temperature is °C.
1.3 WARNING
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
Significance and Use
The induction period may be used as an indication of the tendency of motor gasoline to form gum in storage. It should be recognized, however, that its correlation with the formation of gum in storage may vary markedly under different storage conditions and with different gasolines.
