All the petroleum products like gasoline, kerosene, diesel, lubricating oils etc. are evaluated on the basis of various properties as given by Institute of Petroleum or ASTM. These includes specific gravity, viscosity, aniline point, carbon residue, ASTM distillation, cetane number, octane number, volatility, flash point, smoke point, diesel index etc. But a petroleum product cannot be identified with a single test and all the related properties prescribed for the product has to be carried out, to identify that product.
A work is carried out for identification of petroleum adulteration in case of diesel adulteration in lubricating oil. For this various properties of these adulterated samples along with ultrasonic velocity were carried out. It is observed that as the molecule weight or specific gravity of sample increases, the ultrasonic velocity is also found to be increases.
Thus, this characteristic can be used to evaluate petroleum samples and its blends.
