Fuel Oils consist of a wide range of petroleum products used in our everyday lives. These oils consist of the heaviest commercial fuels that can be obtained from crude oil, heavier than gasoline and naphtha. Fuel oil uses include heating  homes, lighting  furnaces, producing steam for industrial uses and for generating electric energy. If the oils are not properly formulated and tested, or have become contaminated in any manner, damage to equipment can be expected. Oil analysis is a preventive maintenance tool that uncovers fixable problems before they become catastrophic failures.  Proper and timely testing means less unscheduled downtime and increased equipment reliability. This leads to higher productivity and profitability.

Chem-Bac Laboratories can provide a full range of specification testing on No. 1, No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6. Fuel Oil distillates. The specification testing focuses on the specifications outlined in ASTM D 396.
