Crackle Test References<br />
NEW!<br />
“Crackle Test”references for determining water in oil (all values nominal). The crackle test is a visual<br />
test performed by placing a small drop of oil onto a hot plate (usually around 300ºC). The<br />
amount of water present in oil samples is estimated by comparison to these standards. All values<br />
certified by gravimetric preparation.<br />

Calibration Standards Made from<br />
Polysulfide oil<br />
<strong>VHG</strong> <strong>Labs</strong>' polysulfide oils have been formulated<br />
for long shelf life and optimal stability even when<br />
exposed to x-rays from modern high wattage<br />
XRF spectrometers. In addition, our polysulfide<br />
oil products offer high purity, low volatility, and<br />
minimal diffusion through sample films.<br />
These standards are well suited to ultra low<br />
level sulfur analysis, quality control, drift correction, blank measurement and calibration standards<br />
for XRF and other sulfur analysis techniques. Our polysulfide oil standards are intended for use in<br />
accordance with the newly revised ASTM D2622, D4294, D5453, D7039, D7212, D7220 and<br />

ASTM D86 Group 1 & 2 Synthetic Distillation Standard<br />
The automatic distillation apparatus duplicates the distillation conditions of the manual method. The increased<br />
reliance on electronic control requires an independent standard to verify that the apparatus is performing correctly.<br />
<strong>VHG</strong> has introduced a synthetic blend of hydrocarbons that boil in the temperature range specified in<br />
ASTM D86 distillation groups 1 and 2.<br />
The Group 1 and 2 standard covers the boiling range 129º F to 368º F, (54º to 187º C) and was verified by<br />
consensus analysis with twelve refinery laboratories.<br />
