Reference Materials
Browse ASTM Reference Materials
Available options provide ARVs in the fuel matrices being tested across a wide range of results, including those at or slightly below the applicable standards. Valid as check standards per ASTM D6299, these materials can help you comply with US EPA fuel regulations under 40 CFR 1090. Options include:
- Vapor Pressure of Gasoline
- Benzene in Gasoline
- Sulfur in Gasoline and Sulfur in Diesel
- Oxygenates in Gasoline
- Aromatics in Gasoline
- Olefins in Gasoline
- Distillation
Available in typical finished gasoline and diesel product matrices. Octane Number reference materials feature reliable ARVs across the range from subgrade to midgrade including RON from 85 to 94 and MON 79 to 87. Cetane Number and Derived Cetane Number reference materials are available from 40 to 52.
- Octane Number
- Cetane Number
- Derived Cetane Number
Shipped in packages of 8 x 5-mL ampoules, and in gasoline or naphtha matrices, options include:
- Paraffins, Naphthenes, Aromatics; in gasoline or naphtha
- Paraffins, Isoparaffins, Naphthenes, Aromatics; in gasoline
- or naphtha
- Olefins, Aromatics, Saturates; in gasoline
- Paraffins, Isoparaffins, Olefins, Naphthenes, Aromatics;
- in gasoline
- Detailed Hydrocarbon Analysis; in naphtha
Provided in sample matrices similar to those your laboratory tests, rather than synthetic blends of multiple pure components. Options feature ARVs covering the boiling range of typical petroleum and refined products, and the narrow boiling range of high purity chemicals:
- Crude Oil
- Gas Oil
- Biodiesel
- Diesel Fuel
- Jet Fuel
- Gasoline
- Naphtha
- P-Xylene
Offering robust ARVs across the wide range of flow temperatures for major petroleum products and popular manual and automated methods, including:
- Cloud Point
- Pour Point
- Cold Filter Plugging Point
- Freeze Point
Available in hard-to-find parameters, with accepted reference values in ranges typical of the fuel tested in commercial laboratories. These materials feature reliable ARVs and low estimated uncertainties based on test results from labs across the globe, including:
- JFTOT Tube Deposit Thickness
- MSEP Rating
- Smoke Point
- BOCLE Wear Scar Diameter
- Aromatics by HPLC
