    The document lists 11 pieces of equipment used in an oil testing laboratory, including their names, brief descriptions of what each measures, and the relevant ASTM standard test methods for each. The equipment allows technicians to determine characteristics of oil samples like water content, calorific value, flash point, impurities percentage, kinematic viscosity, ash content, and compound concentration. Proper ventilation is also important, noting a ductless fume hood as preferable for a small lab space.
