Standard Test Method for Evaluation of the Type and Viscoelastic Stability of Water-in-Oil Mixtures Formed from Crude Oil and Petroleum Products Mixed with Water

Importancia y uso:

4.1 A standard test is necessary to establish a behavior pattern for spilled oils or petroleum products at different oil weathering stages.

4.2 Water-in-oil mixtures vary with oil type and oil conditions such as weathering. Results from this test method form a baseline, and usually are a measure of behavior at sea.

4.3 This test has been developed over many years using standardized equipment, test procedures, and to overcome difficulties noted in other test procedures.

4.4 This test should be performed at the temperatures and degrees of weathering corresponding to the spill conditions of interest.
