Workshop for On-Line Process NMR Technology: Utilizing ASTM Standards and Practices

(In-person only event)

Date: June 23, 2025

Event Location: The Westin Kansas City at Crown Center, Kansas City, Missouri, USA

Organized by: ASTM Committee D02 on Petroleum Products and Lubricants

About the Event

The Workshop for On-Line Process NMR Technology: Utilizing ASTM Standards and Practices will be held June 23, 2025. The workshop is organized by ASTM Committee D02 on Petroleum Products and Lubricants, and will be held at the The Westin Kansas City at Crown Center, Kansas City, Missouri, USA in conjunction with the standards development meetings of the committee. The language of the workshop will be English.

Objective and Scope

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy, both in the lab and on-line, has been an essential technology in the characterization of all petroleum materials (crude oil through gases) since its commercialization by Russell Varian in the mid-1950s. Unfortunately, NMR remains effectively an “unknown” within ASTM.

This workshop will provide information on the use of NMR in hydrocarbon analyses, laboratory and on-line application areas, and the “symbiotic” utilization of published ASTM optical spectroscopy and chemometric methodologies, practices, and guidelines in its implementation.

Abstract Submission

Those interested in presenting at this workshop should submit a 250 to 300-word abstract to Workshop Chairs by January 31, 2025.

Publication Information

Symposium authors are required to submit their papers for ASTM publication in Selected Technical Papers (STP), an online and printed, peer-reviewed publication for the international scientific and engineering community. STP papers should be full-length technical papers of approximately 10,000 words, significantly contribute to the technical literature, and must include a review of past work in the relevant area and present information of current interest or probe new fields. After the final selection of abstracts has been approved, the ASTM Editorial Office will send authors’ instructions via email, but also can be found by clicking here.

Manuscripts to be peer reviewed for the STP are due online no later than DATE at the ASTM Editorial Office. The corresponding author (the author who is the main contact with ASTM Headquarters) will receive a copy of his/her paper in portable document format (PDF). All published authors will have the opportunity to purchase reprints of their papers at a nominal cost. Only those papers submitted by the manuscript due date will be included in the STP. Please note that all submitted papers are subject to peer review by two independent reviewers.

The STP will be submitted to the Library of Congress with an ISBN number and will be reviewed for inclusion in the Web of Science Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI) and Google Scholar.

Technical Program

A technical program (presentation times and titles, and presenters’ names) will be posted on the ASTM website by early spring 2025.
