Oil & Petroleum Testing At METS!

Petrol lab tests the raw petroleum, petrol feed-stocks, fills, and refined oil items. The oil filter testing services support oil refining, freight investigation, upstream, and related petrol industry tasks. Oil & Petroleum Testing based goods test incorporates unrefined petroleum, powers, gases, aromatics, petrochemicals, transitional items, pipeline transmit, and numerous others.

Petroleum Products We Test

Petroleum products behave very differently from one another, so each one needs its own tests. We cover the following product groups:

  • Industrial oils
  • Diesel and gas oil
  • Gasoline
  • Kerosene and jet fuel
  • Naphtha and feedstocks
  • Heavy fuel oil and bunker fuel
  • Used oil
  • Transformer oil
  • LPG and natural gas
  • Base oils and lubricants

Oil & Petroleum Testing

METS can help your organization treatment facility, oilfield, power station, association, scholarly establishment, or government office in testing petroleum, gas, and petrochemical labs to do all your daily practice and non-routine Oil, Gasoline, Petrochemical, Biodiesel, Alternative Fuels, Hydrocarbon, Diesel testing lab and Petroleum testing, investigation, examination, trials and exploration audits.

Why Petroleum Testing Matters?

Product Quality

Test results show whether a fuel or oil meets its specification. For example, density, distillation and sulphur results tell us how a fuel will burn and perform.

Safety and Compliance

Flash point, vapour pressure and corrosion tests help keep storage, transport and use safe. Moreover, regular testing helps producers and buyers meet national and international fuel standards.

Trade and Dispute Resolution

Buyers and sellers often agree on a fuel grade before a shipment moves. Independent test data then settles any question about whether the cargo met that grade.

Testing Categories and Standards

Each product group follows its own set of test methods. The tables below list the key standards for every category.
