ASTM D482
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of ash in the range 0.0010.180 mass %, from distillate and residual fuels, gas turbine fuels, crude oils, lubricating oils, waxes, and other petroleum products, in which any ash-forming materials present are normally considered to be undesirable impurities or contaminants ( Note 1 ). The test method is limited to petroleum products which are free from added ash-forming additives, including certain phosphorus compounds ( Note 2 ).
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. The preferred expression of the property is mass %.
1.3 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.
