If I understand the question you need a list of some testing commonly done for liquid fuels and lubricating oil. ASTM have an extensive list of hydrocarbon tests. You can find the numbers with a brief summary on the web. The ASTM site gives a summary paragraph about the individual standards but not the test itself. For access to codes and standards we use a service from IHS (Information Handling Services) to access the text of many codes and standards.
ASTM tests include ASTM D129-00 01-Nov-2000
Standard Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum Products
ASTM D130-94 01-Nov-1994
Standard Test Method for Detection of Copper Corrosion from Petroleum Products by the Copper Strip Tarnish Test

Particle classification is among the tests for lube oil system cleanliness. Several particle counters such as the UCC CM20 exist. These counters identify the lube oil particles by size and quantity. For each size group the counter gives NAS classification. You may need a vacuum pump to remove air bubbles that read as particles. The cost for such a counter begins under $10,000 US or can cost over three times as much depending upon your specific requirements.
The total NAS classification is the largest number. You might look for NAS on the web to learn about the Aerospace Industries Association NATIOMAL AEROSPACE STANDARD AIA/NAS NAS1638 92. ISO standards also exist. The particle counter can display ISO results too.
You can buy a book with most of these ASTM standards or obtain only the standards of interest. This should help start the search.
