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

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

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