D 86 will be one of the three building blocks of petroleum standardization with the publication of ASTM D 445, Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque Liquids (the Calculation of Dynamic Viscosity) (see 1937), and D 1655, Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuels (see 1959).
D 187 will be followed in 1925 by ASTM D 219, Method for Burning Quality of Long-Time Burning Oil for Railway Use, a tentative standard that will become a full standard in 1927, covering railway semaphore signal lamps.
D 5183, Method for Determination of the Coefficient of Friction of Lubricants Using the Four-Ball Wear Test Machine, will later be developed for determining coefficients of friction to assess performance differences due to friction modifiers used in energy conserving motor oils and fluid lubricants.
