Nobil Petroleum Testing, Inc. provides testing services for petroleum products, for determination of physical and chemical properties relative to ASTM, DEF STAN and JIG specifications, as well as customer’s specific requirements for quality control. Throughout the years we specialized in Aviation Turbine Fuel, providing not only testing and inspection services, moreover assisting our customers with our expertise in quality control and acceptance testing , resolving incidental quality issues during transportation, storage of jet fuel or during maintenance of equipment and fuel systems, as well as establishing product quality control protocols.

Our full integrated laboratory Management and Reporting System allows for extensive data capture and retention using the latest SQL Server database architecture. This is further enhanced by a flexible reporting system which allows us to provide custom reports to our customers.

Unique identification of samples and tests provides accurate traceability of samples, batches, tests and associated results.

Some of our routine tests are listed below, nevertheless we are always upgrading and expanding upon our capabilities to suit our customers’ and the industry’s requirements.

Below are some tests run in our lab:
