    See ASTM Method D7157. Also Intertek Caleb Brett in the Netherlands does these tests. Tests are used to determine stability of asphaltenes to precipitate. Tests are specific to one dilution solvent or a pair of solvents (one polar/one nonpolar). Some references in literature give S-value and P-value methods.
