This test method is intended to determine the pour point of petroleum oils used in the softening and stuffing of leather, as well as those used in the manufacture of products for such purpose. The pour point of petroleum oils is measured for the purpose of quality assurance.

Note—Dimensions are in millimetres.

1. Scope

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the pour point of petroleum oils used in the softening and stuffing of leather, and in the manufacture of fatliquors and other softening and stuffing compounds. This test method was derived from Test Method D 97 and ALCA Method H-18.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

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.

2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
