Petroleum Testing The petroleum group at Hauser Laboratories is dedicated to providing on-call, immediate analyses of crude oils and refined crude oil products. These products include gasoline, diesel fuels, aviation fuels, oxygenated fuels, residual fuels, lubricating oils, solvents, asphalts, and coal tar mixtures. Product conformity to specifications is determined using standard test procedures such as ASTM, UOP, and AASHO; FTMS and military specifications; and manufacturers' in-house methods. Hauser Laboratories also provides consulting services, with an emphasis on strong problem-solving skills. This enables Hauser Laboratories to provide many types of failure analysis and to consult with its clients regarding additive analyses and appropriate mix designs. Hauser Laboratories has tested the jet fuel used by Air Force 1 for every president from Richard Nixon to George W. Bush.

On-call testing of jet fuel for suppliers to all major Colorado commercial airports, with 6-hour turnaround service available 24 hours a day 365 days a year. 2. Determining the optimum fuel and additive package for a transportation company wanting to maximize the fuel efficiency of its vehicles. We compared various fuels and additives and determined not only the most efficient fuel, but also the fuel having the best cold weather performance. 3. The President of the United States demands exceptional security and safety while traveling. Hauser Laboratories has tested the jet fuel for Air Force One for all United States Presidents from Richard Nixon through George W. Bush. 4. A refinery that makes diesel fuel from a particular feedstock wanted to know what other hydrocarbons it could economically make. Hauser Laboratories' scientists taught the refinery employees how to make other industrial solvents while continuing to produce diesel fuel.
