Work Item

ASTM WK94816

Revision of D8253-21 Standard Test Method for Determination of the Asphaltene Solvency Properties of Bitumen, Crude Oil, Condensate and/or Related Products for the Purpose of Calculating Stability, Compatibility for Blending, Fouling, and Processibility (Manual Microscopy Method)

Rationale

This test method is up for 5-year reapproval however ILS #1960 (WK92117) is delayed with difficulty locating sufficient labs to run the ILS. Request re-approval to allow additional labs to adopt the method so that the ILS can be conducted.
