(What is a Work Item? / How to Input to a Work Item)

Work Item: ASTM WK26132 - Revision of D5949-08 Standard Test Method for Pour Point of Petroleum Products (Automatic Pressure Pulsing Method)


Active Standard: D5949-08

Developed by Subcommittee: D02.07 | Committee D02 Home | Contact Staff Manager



1. Rationale

Older apparatus requires an external source of liquid coolant in order to dissipate heat generated by the Peltier device and other electronic components. Newer models of the apparatus have built-in internal sources of liquid coolant and do not require external sources. Sections 6.6, 7.1, and 9.2 referencing the use of external coolant are revised. Footnote 5 gives additional information on which model series utilize external versus internal sources of coolant.
