While other books deal with various aspects of fuels and lubricant chemistry and applications, few focus on testing and provide coverage of fluid properties and testing methodologies together. And, while testing standards publications are abundant, such publications don't deal with the principles behind the tests. This handbook useful as a stand-alone reference or as a companion to the annual ASTM Book of Standards provides an overview of testing methodologies as well as the applications-related properties being tested. It comprises 38 contributions arranged in sections on petroleum refining processes for fuels and lubricant basestocks; fuels; hydrocarbons and synthetic lubricants; and performance/property testing procedures. Nineteen pertinent ASTM standards are provided on the accompanying CD-ROM. Editor Totten is a consultant specializing in thermal processing and industrial lubrication problems and equipment supply.
