United States13.1.1 digital contact thermom
16、eter (DCT), nan electronic device consisting of a digital display and associated temperaturesensing probe.3.1.1.1 DiscussionThis device consists of a temperature sensor connected to a measuring instrument; this instrument measures the temperature-dependent quantity of the sensor, computes the temper
17、ature from the measured quantity, and provides a digital output. This digitaloutput goes to a digital display and/or recording device that may be internal or external to the device. These devices are sometimesreferred to as a “digital thermometer.”3.1.1.2 DiscussionPET is an acronym for portable ele
18、ctronic thermometers, a subset of digital contact thermometers (DCT).3.1.2 maximum (upper) pour point, nthe pour point obtained after the test specimen has been subjected to a prescribedtreatment designed to enhance gelation of wax crystals and solidification of the test specimen.3.1.3 minimum (lowe
19、r) pour point, nthe pour point obtained after the test specimen has been subjected to a prescribedtreatment designed to delay gelation of wax crystals and solidification of the test specimen.3.1.4 pour point, nthe lowest temperature at which movement of the test specimen is observed under the condit
20、ions of thetest.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 After preliminary heating, the test specimen is cooled at a specified rate and examined at intervals of 3 C for flowcharacteristics. The lowest temperature at which movement of the test specimen is observed is recorded as the pour point.5. Significance an
21、d Use5.1 The pour point of a crude oil is an index of the lowest temperature of handleability for certain applications.5.2 This is the only pour point method specifically designed for crude oils.5.3 The maximum and minimum pour point temperatures provide a temperature window where a crude oil, depen
22、ding on itsthermal history, might appear in the liquid as well as the solid state.5.4 The test method can be used to supplement other measurements of cold flow behavior. It is especially useful for thescreening of the effect of wax interaction modifiers on the flow behavior of crude oils.6. Apparatu

To resolve this, itis recommended that the probe be between 15 cm and 30
36、cm in length. A 5 cm long stopper that has a low thermal conductivity with approximately halfof it inserted in the sample tube will improve stability.6.1.2.5 The DCT calibration drift shall be checked at least annually by either measuring the ice point or against a referencethermometer in a constant
