Ensuring high-level product quality, safety, and operational performance through accredited fuels testing services.
At our Houston-based facility, we provide fuels testing services using ASTM, IP and EN methods on our PJLA ISO/IEC 17025 scope of accreditation (Certificate L25-276). Our technical results support safety protocols and regulatory compliance for refinery hydrocarbons, bulk storage terminals, and specialized aviation systems across the US and international markets.
Aviation Fuel
Aviation turbine fuels require rigorous verification of appearance and corrosion behavior to ensure flight safety. Our technical fuels testing services focus on identifying contaminants like water haze and particulate matter that could compromise engine performance.
Key Parameters (Accredited)
- Visual appearance & water haze (ASTM D4176)
- Copper strip corrosion (ASTM D130)
- Electrical conductivity (ASTM D2624)
- Existent gum by jet evaporation (ASTM D381)
- Density & API gravity (ASTM D5002)
Jet Fuel Analysis
Commercial and military jet fuels must be clean, dry and non-corrosive. Our accredited fuels testing services check free water, particulates, conductivity, gum and copper corrosion to support safe turbine operation.
Key Parameters (Accredited)
- Free water & particulate contamination (ASTM D4176)
- Electrical conductivity (ASTM D2624)
- Copper strip corrosion (ASTM D130)
- Existent gum by jet evaporation (ASTM D381)
Gasoline Analysis
Gasoline requires precise monitoring of corrosivity and compositional stability. We deliver fuels testing services that verify product integrity and safe handling characteristics for automotive and industrial grade liquid fuels.
Key Parameters (Accredited)
- Oxygenates & alcohols by GC-MS (ASTM D4815)
- Sulfur compounds by GC-PFPD (ASTM D5623)
- Gum content by jet evaporation (ASTM D381)
- Copper strip corrosion (ASTM D130)
Diesel Quality
Diesel fuel quality affects engine reliability and safe storage. Our accredited fuels testing services detect water, particulates and corrosive contamination in commercial diesel.
Key Parameters (Accredited)
- Appearance evaluation for suspended matter (ASTM D4176)
- Copper strip corrosion (ASTM D130)
- Color by automatic tristimulus method (ASTM D6045)
- Conductivity for ensuring safe transfer (ASTM D2624)
Fuel Oil Assessment
Heavy fuel oils in marine and power applications require verification of physical and corrosive characteristics. We provide accredited fuels testing services including density, carbon residue and hydrogen sulfide measurement for industrial fuel grades.
Key Parameters (Accredited)
- Hydrogen sulfide in the vapor phase (ASTM D5705)
- Ramsbottom carbon residue (ASTM D524)
- Density & API gravity (ASTM D5002)
- Copper strip corrosion (ASTM D130)
Naphtha Testing
Naphtha is a critical petrochemical feedstock and gasoline blending component derived from crude oil distillation. Our accredited fuels testing services verify detailed hydrocarbon composition and physical properties of light and heavy naphtha streams to ensure optimal refinery processing, blending consistency, and downstream petrochemical feedstock quality.
Key Parameters (Accredited)
- Detailed Analysis of Petroleum Naphthas through n-Nonane (ASTM D8150)
- Copper strip corrosion for system compatibility (ASTM D130)
- Sulfur compounds by GC-PFPD (ASTM D5623)
- Refractive index for compositional screening (ASTM D1218)
