A. Kishore Nadkarni, Millennium Analytics, Inc., East Brunswick, NJ. This is Manual 44–2nd of ASTM’s manual series. This manual originally published in 2000 has proved to be a useful reference book to technologists and others in the Petroleum Products and Lubricants industry.

The manual contains descriptions of a total of 585 test methods an increase of 222 test methods from 363 methods in the first edition describing a total of about 229 chemical and physical tests used to analyze petroleum products and lubricants an increase of about 69 properties from about 160 properties described in the first edition.
