The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International has published the standard "Standard Test Method for Identification of Water-Immiscible Fluids", designated as ASTM D3415-98(2024), effective from April 1, 2024. This revised standard updates previous versions to provide a comprehensive and precise method for identifying non-water-miscible fluids, commonly known as water-based oils or emulsifiable concentrates, which are widely used in various industrial applications such as lubrication systems and hydraulic machinery.
The ASTM D3415-98(2024) standard outlines detailed procedures for testing the characteristics of these fluids to ensure they meet specific quality requirements. It includes criteria for evaluating properties such as fluidity, stability under varying temperatures, resistance to corrosion, and compatibility with different materials encountered in industrial environments.
This updated edition incorporates feedback from industry experts and reflects advancements in analytical techniques and technological developments relevant to the identification of water-based oils. By adhering to this standard, manufacturers can ensure that their products perform optimally and safely across a range of applications, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
