UOP Standards

What is UOP?

Universal Oil Products (UOP) standards provide guidelines for oil and petroleum product testing and analysis. UOP standards primarily cover test methods for oil, gas and materials used or generated in refining. UOP’s processes produce the fuels that power our cars, trucks, jets and trains.

UOP’s process technologies, equipment and lifecycle solutions are helping customers generate the most value from every drop of oil, every cubic foot of natural gas and every ton of coal. UOP has more than 3,000 active patents.

UOP Standards

In addition to providing guidelines for oil and petroleum product testing and analysis, over 300 analytical methods and procedures support the installation, implementation, maintenance and safe operation of UOP-licensed processes. These test methods are a valuable resource to help users analyze feedstocks and various process streams.
