ISO 12205 - Oxidation Stability of Middle-Distillate Fuels

We perform testing by ISO 12205 to measure the oxidation stability of diesel and other similar fuels by bubbling oxygen through the heated sample for 16 hrs. This test simulates storage of diesel fuel for one year.  A measured quantity of fuel is placed in a test tube and oxygen is bubbled through the liquid while heating the liquid to 95°C for 16 hours.  Following the exposure, the liquid is filtered and the level of insoluble material is measured. 

A result of less than 1.5 mg/100 ml is generally considered acceptable.

We also perform oxidation stability testing by ASTM D2112, ASTM D2272, ASTM D2274, ASTM D2440, ASTM D525, ASTM D7462, ASTM D873, ASTM D942, DIN 51587, EN 15751, IP 142, IP 388, IP 40, ISO 4623, and ISO 7536. These different test methods use different instruments or procedures or are used for certain sample types.
