21、.1.1.1 DiscussionWhen distilling a mixture of com-pounds as is the case of crude petroleum, there will be a normalincrease in reflux ratio down the column. In the case whereheat losses occur in the column, the internal reflux is abnor-mally greater than the reflux in the head. The opposite is truewh

33、18, theoretical plates.4.2 A reflux ratio of 5:1 is maintained at all operatingpressures, except that at the lowest operating pressures be-tween 0.674 and 0.27 kPa (5 and 2 mm Hg), a reflux ratio of2:1 is optional. In cooperative testing or in cases of dispute, thestages of low pressure, the reflux
34、ratios, and the temperaturesof cut points must be mutually agreed upon by the interestedparties prior to beginning the distillation.4.3 Observations of temperature, pressure, and other vari-ables are recorded at intervals and at the end of each cut orfraction.4.4 The mass and density of each cut or
35、fraction areobtained. Distillation yields by mass are calculated from themass of all fractions, including liquefied gas cut and theresidue. Distillation yields by volume of all fractions and theresidue at 15C are calculated from mass and density.4.5 From these data the TBP curves in mass or volume %
36、,or both, versus AET are drawn.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is one of a number of tests conductedon a crude oil to determine its value. It provides an estimate ofthe yields of fractions of various boiling ranges and is thereforevaluable in technical discussions of a commercial nature.
37、5.2 This test method corresponds to the standard laboratorydistillation efficiency referred to as 15/5. The fractions pro-duced can be analyzed as produced or combined to producesamples for analytical studies, engineering, and product qualityevaluations. The preparation and evaluation of such blends
38、 isnot part of this test method.5.3 This test method can be used as an analytical tool forexamination of other petroleum mixtures with the exception ofLPG, very light naphthas, and mixtures with initial boilingpoints above 400C.6. Apparatus6.1 Distillation at Atmospheric PressureAll componentsmust c
39、onform to the requirements specified as follows. Auto-matic devices can be employed provided they meet the samerequirements. A typical apparatus is illustrated in Fig. 1.6.1.1 Distillation FlaskThe distillation flask shall be of asize that is at least 50 % larger than the volume of the charge.The si
40、ze of the charge, between 1.0 and 30 L, is determined bythe holdup characteristics of the fractionating column, asshown in Table 1 and described in Annex A2. The distillationflask shall have at least one sidearm.6.1.1.1 The sidearm is used as a thermowell. It shallterminate about 5 mm from the botto
41、m of the flask to ensure itsimmersion at the end of the distillation.When a second sidearmis present, it can be used for pressure drop detection with anitrogen bleed or for mechanical stirring, or both.6.1.1.2 If a magnetic stirrer is used with a spherical flask,the flask shall have a slightly flatt
42、ened or concave area at thebottom on which the magnetic stirrer can rotate withoutgrinding the glass. In this case, termination of the thermowellshall be off center 40 6 5 mm to avoid the magnetic stirringbar. Boiling chips can be used as an alternative to a stirrer.6.1.1.3 (WarningWhile the advanta
43、ge of visibility inglass distillation flasks is desirable, flasks of glass may becomehazardous the larger the charge they contain. For this reason,glass flasks of a volume greater than 10 L are not recom-mended.)6.1.2 Heating SystemHeating of the flask shall be pro-vided in such a way that full boil
44、up can be maintained at asteady rate at all pressure levels. An electric heating mantlecovering the lower half of the flask and having one third of theheat in an element located in the bottom central area and theremaining two thirds in the rest of the hemisphere is recom-mended. While proportioning
45、controllers are preferred, heatinput can be manually adjusted by use of a variable autotransformer on each circuit, the smaller heater being automati-cally controlled by an instrument sensing the pressure drop ofthe column as registered in a differential pressure instrument oralternatively by direct
46、 measurement of distillation rate.6.1.2.1 Minimum wattage required to provide full boilup ofcrude petroleum is approximately 0.125 W/mL of charge.Twice this amount is recommended for quick heat-up.6.1.2.2 The heat density in the flask heaters is approxi-mately equal to 0.5 to 0.6 W/cm2. This require
47、s the use ofnickel reinforced quartz fabric to ensure a reasonable servicelife.6.1.2.3 Immersion heaters can be employed in a similar wayand have the advantage of faster response, but they are morefragile and require a specially designed flask to ensure that theheating elements remain immersed at th
48、e end of the run. Whenused, their heat density should be approximately equal to 4W/cm2.6.1.2.4 The upper half of the flask shall be covered with amantle to avoid unnecessary heat losses from the upper surfaceand shall have an electric heater supplying about 0.25 W/cm2at full-rated voltage.6.1.3 Frac
49、tionating ColumnThe fractionating columnmust contain either particulate packing or real plates similar tothose whose performance characteristics are summarized inTable 1 and meet the specifications stated in 6.1.3.1 through6.1.3.4. Table 2 lists current North American suppliers ofsuitable packings.6.1.3.1 The internal diameter shall be between 25 and 70mm.6.1.3.2 The efficiency shall be between 14 and 18 theoreti-cal plates at total reflux when measured by the proceduredescribed in Annex A1.6.1.3.3 The fractionating column shall be compri
