THIS CHAPTER PROVIDES VARIOUS METHODS TO EVALUATE THE FRICTION AND WEAR PROPERTIES of lubricants and materials. If friction and wear can be controlled then the engineer can select materials and lubricants with a high degree of confidence. Many laboratory tests are used to evaluate the interaction of materials under a broad range of test conditions and controlled environments.

Summarizes the essential elements of all analytical tests used to characterize petroleum products. The 350 plus entries are alphabetically arranged by chemical and physical properties, such as apparent viscosity, density, metal analysis, sulfur determination, vapor pressure, and water. Each entry co
