ASTM D130 Copper Corrosion Testing

ASTM D130 is the industry-standard test method for evaluating the corrosiveness of petroleum products using a polished copper strip. The test helps determine whether fuels, lubricants, aviation fuels, solvents, and other petroleum-based products contain corrosive sulfur compounds or other substances that may attack copper and copper alloys during storage or service.

The copper corrosion test ASTM D130 is widely used throughout petroleum laboratories, refineries, fuel terminals, and quality control facilities to verify product quality and support compliance with industry specifications. Test results provide a simple visual corrosion rating that helps manufacturers, suppliers, and end users assess the suitability of petroleum products for their intended applications.
