Description for Handbook of Petroleum Analysis
Hardcover. Dealing with the various aspects of petroleum analysis, this book provides an explanation of the necessary standard tests that are applicable to feedstocks. The topics include: chemical composition; physical, thermal, electrical, and optical property testing methods; spectroscopic, chemical, and fractionation methods; molecular weight; and more. Series: Chemical Analysis: A Series of Monographs on Analytical Chemistry and its Applications. Num Pages: 512 pages, Ill. BIC Classification: THFP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 162 x 28. Weight in Grams: 830.
Petroleum exhibits a wide range of physical properties. Numerous tests have been and continue to be developed to provide an indication of the means by which a particular feedstock should be processed. An initial inspection of the nature of petroleum provides deductions about the most logical means of refining and classifying. Handbook of Petroleum Analysis is a single, comprehensive source that describes the application and interpretation of data resulting from various test methods for petroleum feedstocks and products.
