ASTM D1833-87 (2012) rus PDF

Full title and description

St ASTM D1833-87 (2012) rus — Russian-language edition (translation) of ASTM D1833-87, "Standard Test Method for Odor of Petroleum Wax". This product is a Russian translation of the ASTM method that describes sensory evaluation procedures and a numeric odor-intensity scale for petroleum-derived waxes.

Abstract

This standard specifies a simple, reproducible panel-based procedure for rating the odor intensity of petroleum waxes using prepared shavings and a numerical scale. It is intended to provide agreement between laboratories on odor intensity ratings and to support specification and quality-control activities where wax odor is a critical attribute.

General information

• Status: Russian translation of the ASTM method (translation published/marketed 2012). The underlying ASTM standard has later editorial/revision records and is available in the ASTM catalog (current edition historically shown as D1833-87 with reprints/confirmation).
• Publication date: 2012 (date applied to this Russian-language edition/offerings); original ASTM method originally approved 1987 with subsequent confirmations/reissues (noted 1999, 2004, 2012, and an ASTM record for a 2017 reissue).
• Publisher: ASTM International (original); this item is a Russian-language translation distributed by third‑party standards resellers.
• ICS / categories: 75.140 — Waxes, bituminous materials and other petroleum products.
• Edition / version: Designation D1833-87 (translation labeled 2012); underlying ASTM designation commonly cited as D1833-87 with later reissues (e.g., D1833-87(2017)).
• Number of pages: 3 pages (short test method).

Scope

The method covers a procedure for preparing wax shavings and conducting a sensory panel evaluation to assign a numerical odor-intensity rating to petroleum-derived wax samples. It is intended for routine quality control and specification compliance where odor is a material property of concern; it does not address all safety considerations related to handling samples.

Key topics and requirements

• Preparation of representative sample shavings (test specimen size and handling).
• Panel selection and panelist conditions (health, training, limits on number of specimens per series).
• Procedure for immediate sniffing and alternative permitted procedures for timed transfers.
• Numerical odor-intensity scale (typical 0 = none through higher integers indicating increasing intensity) and calculation of mean rating to nearest 0.5 unit.
• Reporting requirements and notes on environmental/room conditions that affect perception (e.g., low humidity, background odors).

Typical use and users

Used by petroleum-wax manufacturers, quality-control laboratories, converters and formulators (e.g., food-packaging wax suppliers, candle and cosmetics manufacturers) and procurement/specification engineers who need a simple, repeatable method for screening or specifying wax odor intensity. Regulatory or safety officers may reference the method when assessing sensory-related acceptance criteria.

Related standards

Other ASTM test methods and standards for petroleum wax properties and related testing include methods for melting point, congealing point, needle penetration, color, and compositional analyses (examples: ASTM D938, D3944, D1321, D1500 and D721 among wax and petroleum‑product methods). Users commonly apply D1833 in combination with these physical and analytical tests in product specifications.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is the Russian-language edition/translation of ASTM D1833-87, the test method that defines a sensory panel procedure and numeric scale for rating the odor intensity of petroleum-derived waxes.

Q: What does it cover?

A: Sample preparation (thin shavings), panelist evaluation procedures, an odor-intensity numerical scale, and calculation/reporting of the mean odor rating. It is intended for agreement between laboratories on odor-intensity ratings.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Wax producers, QC laboratories, converters (food-packaging, candle, cosmetic industries), procurement/specification engineers, and any organization that needs to specify or verify wax odor levels.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The original ASTM designation is D1833-87; the method has recorded confirmations/reissues (1999, 2004, 2012 references appear in distribution records) and ASTM lists a more recent reissue notation (D1833-87 with a 2017 reissue/confirmation). The Russian translation item is dated 2012; users who require the absolute latest authoritative text should obtain the latest ASTM-published edition from ASTM International.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: D1833 is one of a set of ASTM methods addressing properties of petroleum waxes and related materials (it is under ASTM Committee D02 and Subcommittee D02.10, which maintain multiple wax and petroleum-product test methods).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Odor, odor intensity, petroleum wax, sensory panel, D1833, wax quality control, Russian translation.
