Book excerpt: Excerpt from Petroleum, Vol. 3 of 3: A Treatise On, the Geographical Distribution and Geological Occurrence of Petroleum, and Natural Gas; The Physical and Chemical Properties, Production, and Refining of Petroleum and Ozokerite A large number of physical and chemical tests are applied to the raw materials and manufactured products to which this work relates. The industry is conducted upon a basis of recognised standards of quality, and testing is necessary on the one hand to satisfy the refiner that his processes are being properly conducted, and on the other to protect the buyer. Moreover, certain products are required to conform to statutory and municipal regulations, and prescribed tests have to be applied in connection with these restrictions. Crude Petroleum. - The specific gravity of crude petroleum, and the amount of water and earthy matter in suspension, are usually ascertained. In many cases a test of fractional distillation is applied with a View of detecting any admixture of distilled products or residue. In Burma the flashing - point is frequently determined in connection with regulations relating to the transport. It may also be requisite, in the case of a crude oil from a new district, to take note of the colour and odour, to determine the flashing-point, the viscosity, whether separation of solid hydrocarbons takes place on cooling, and if so at what temperature, and whether sulphur is present, and if so in what pro portion also to ascertain experimentally what percentage of the usual com mercial products, oil similar to the sample may be expected to yield on the manufacturing scale. In some instances it may be desirable to determine the elementary composition of an oil and its calorific value.
