British admiralty pour point test

This procedure can be utilized to determine whether heavy fuel wax crystal modifiers will lose their performance properties after long-term storage at fluctuating temperatures. Daily heating and overnight cooling may interfere with the ability of some wax crystal modifiers to maintain their performance properties in some residual oils and crude oils. This loss of performance is frequently termed pour point reversion. The British Admiralty Pour Point Test can be utilized to help predict these reversion tendencies. [Pg.194]

It is recommended that any higher-viscosity product such as residual oil or heavy distillate fuel be evaluated for changes in low-temperature handling properties over time. Testing for reversion in pour point by the Shell Amsterdam Reversion Test or the British Admiralty Pour Point Reversion Test are recommended. Also, viscosity increase versus temperature decrease determinations are recommended for products stored at low temperatures for extended periods of time. [Pg.80]

Identify whether the oil treated with a wax crystal modifier will revert in pour point by testing utilizing either the British Admiralty Pour Point Reversion Test or the Shell Amsterdam Reversion Test. [Pg.205]
