Summary of Test Method3.1 The refractive index and density of the oil are deter-mined at 20C. The mol

11、ecular weight is determined experi-mentally or estimated from measurements of viscosity at 37.8and 98.89C (100 and 210F). These data are then used tocalculate the carbon distribution (% CA,%CN,%CP)orthering analysis (RA, RN) using the appropriate set of equations.4. Significance and Use4.1 The carbo

12、n distribution and ring content serve to ex-press the gross composition of the heavier fractions of petro-leum. These data can be used as an adjunct to the bulkproperties in monitoring the manufacture of lubricating oil basestocks by distillation, solvent refining or hydrogenation, orboth, and in co
