About This Item
ASTM D8164 is the ASTM guide for digital contact thermometers used in testing petroleum products, liquid fuels, and lubricants. It helps define a practical framework for selecting and using these instruments in laboratory and quality-control settings where temperature measurement affects test accuracy. By focusing on digital contact thermometers, the standard supports more consistent handling of temperature-sensitive evaluations and helps users align equipment choices with a recognized technical reference.
Purpose of ASTM D8164
The purpose of ASTM D8164 is to provide guidance for digital contact thermometers intended for petroleum products, liquid fuels, and lubricant testing. As a guide, it is commonly used to support informed instrument selection and appropriate application in temperature-dependent test methods. This makes it useful for laboratories and organizations that need a reliable basis for comparing thermometer features, using the equipment consistently, and supporting quality-focused testing practices without overstating performance beyond the standard’s scope.
Common use cases of ASTM D8164
This standard is commonly used where digital contact thermometers are part of testing workflows for petroleum-derived liquids and lubricants. It may support laboratory measurement tasks, routine quality control, and product evaluation in settings where temperature readings influence test results. ASTM D8164 is also relevant when organizations need a recognized reference for procurement, instrument review, or method support involving contact thermometers used with liquid fuels and related materials.
Why ASTM D8164 matters
ASTM D8164 matters because temperature measurement can directly affect the consistency and credibility of testing results for petroleum products, liquid fuels, and lubricants. Using a shared ASTM guide helps reduce ambiguity when selecting or applying digital contact thermometers, which can improve repeatability and support compliance-oriented documentation. For buyers and testing teams, it offers a practical reference that can aid product comparison, quality control decisions, and risk reduction in temperature-sensitive evaluations.
