Manual 37 is a comprehensive, in-depth, well-referenced handbook that provides a detailed overview of ALL of the important ASTM and non-ASTM fuels and lubricants test procedures. Readers will get a thorough overview of the application-related properties being tested and an extensive discussion of the principles behind the tests and their relationship to the properties themselves.


The information is subdivided into four sections:

  1. Petroleum Refining Processes for Fuels and Lubricant Basestocks
  2. Fuels
  3. Hydrocarbons and Synthetic Lubricants
  4. Performance/Property Testing Procedures

Thirty-eight chapters cover:

  • Overview of petroleum oil refining processes
  • Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
  • Aviation, automotive diesel, non-aviation gas turbine, and marine fuels
  • Gasoline and oxygenated fuel blends
  • Petroleum hydrocarbons base oil chemistry
  • Synthetic hydrocarbons
  • Environmentally-friendly fluids including those formulated from vegetable oil and synthetic ester basestocks
  • Lubricating oils for turbines, compressors (industrial and refrigeration), gears, and automotive applications
  • Metalworking fluids
  • Petroleum waxes
  • Lubricating greases
  • Oils used in non-lubricating applications, such as heat transfer fluids and metal quenchants
  • Static petroleum measurement, volatility, elemental analysis, fuel combustion characteristics, oxidation, corrosion, and viscosity
  • Properties of coke, petroleum pitch, and carbon materials
  • Hydrocarbon structural analysis procedures
  • Lubrication and wear
  • Environmental and toxicity testing
  • Statistical quality assurance testing procedures

A MUST-HAVE for anyone in the industry involved in the formulation, use, and specification of fuels and lubricants
