The ASTM D130 standard, developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), includes a test method for determining the corrosiveness to copper of aviation gasoline, aviation turbine fuel, automotive gasoline, Stoddard solvent, kerosene, diesel fuel, distilled petroleum oil, lubricating oil, and natural gasoline, or hydrocarbons with a vapor pressure of 18 psi and no greater than 37.8 degrees. The full name of this standard is: ASTM D130-12 Standard test method for corrosiveness to copper from petroleum products by copper strip test.

Some products, especially natural gasoline, may have a vapor pressure that is much higher than would normally be characteristic of automotive or aviation gasolines. Therefore, extreme care must be taken to ensure that there are pressure vessels containing natural gasoline used in this test method.
In this test method, pressure vessels containing natural gasoline or other high-vapor-pressure products must not be placed above 100 degrees Celsius. Samples with a vapor pressure above 18 psi can develop sufficient pressures to rupture the pressure vessel at 100 degrees Celsius. Any sample with a vapor pressure above 18 psi must be tested according to the ASTM D1838 standard.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. These studies are based on the latest technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and modern methods. Among the numerous tests performed in this context, there are also copper corrosion determination (ASTM D130) services.
