Institute ∗standards∗ For Petroleum & Its Products Methods For Analysis & Testing 45e: Pt. 1 (Series: IP Standards Series)

Standardised methods for the testing and analysis of petroleum are necessary to ensure reproducibility of results between buyers and sellers at all levels. Such methods do not stand still; as particular technical advances are made, more accurate procedures present themselves and have to be assessed for their utility. The methods for analysis and testing contained in IP Standards are reviewed constantly and a revised edition incorporating new, proposed and modified standard methods is published annually. IP Standards cover the whole field of petroleum and its products and are therefore an essential reference manual for chemists and engineers working in the industry and its associated fields.
