Depends on how complex you want to get and what type of oil (engine, hydraulic, transmission, etc), but basically :
Viscosity vs standard range (40°C/100°C/VI)
Appearance
Odour
Oxidation by IR
Fuel Dilution - either by GC or flashpoint
Wear metals - AAS / ICP
Water - "crackle test"/ Karl Fischer / IR or "Dean & Stark" distillation
Particulates - filtration, hexane insolubles or IR
Residual TBN (Total Base Number) for engine oils or TAN (Total Acid Number) as an indicator of oxidation in hydraulic oils
Demulsibility (the oil's ability to separate water) - Turbine oils
Unsulphonatable residue - Medicinal White Oils and some agricultural oils
Melting point tests are the easiest and simplest to conduct.
hydrogen purity
yes i do
because gold or iron are metal if they are not a metal so they can not check the purity but they are metals..
Purity tests are used to determine the extent to which a particular substance is what is claimed. A classic purity test for gold is nitric acid; if the item being examined reacts to the acid it is not gold, or at least not pure gold.
Sometime it is needed to check purity of a liquid, to check metal content of a liquid.
The purity of a compound can be checked using the process of chromatography. It refers to a separation technique to analyze the contents of a compound.
Your answer depends on the purpose of your test.
Chemical analysis is used to test the purity of materials. We know today a very great number of analysis methods.
Can i test
purity testing of microorganism is to check weahter the microbial culture contain one type of cells of species or it get contaminated or mixed with other type.the best way to check this is by sub culturing and staining.
Purity rings are available in many jewelry stores in malls around the country. Check with Zales, Kay Jewelers and other fine outlets.
