ASTM D6/D6M Standard Test Method for Loss on Heating of Oil and Asphaltic Compounds - eLearning Course
About this Course
This course covers the determination of the loss in mass (exclusive of water) of oil and asphaltic compounds when heated as hereinafter prescribed. The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
The course takes approximately 1 hour to complete and includes instructional video content, interactive knowledge checks, and a self-grading quiz. Downloadable resources include a pdf of the standard.

- Identify technical hazards to be considered during testing, including considerations for specimen volatility.
- Define steps for preparation of sample.
- Recall procedure for determination of the loss in mass (exclusive of water) of oil and asphaltic compounds when heated, including those for the heating period.
