Summary of Test
20、Method4.1 Based on its composition, vapor pressure, expected IBPor expected FBP, or a combination thereof, the sample is placedin one of four groups. Condenser temperature and otheroperational variables are defined by the group in which thesample falls.4.2 A specimen of the sample is distilled under
21、 prescribedconditions for the group in which the sample falls. Thespecimen volume for distillation Groups 1 to 3 is 6 mL. ForGroup 4, the specimen volume is 5.5 mL. The distillation isperformed in an automatic, miniaturized distillation apparatusat ambient pressure under conditions that are designed
22、 toprovide approximately one theoretical plate fractionation. Thevapor temperature readings and volumes of condensate aremonitored continuously. After the test, specimen losses andresidue are recorded.4.3 After conclusion of the test, the temperatures are auto-matically corrected for barometric pres
23、sure, using the pressurereading of a built-in pressure transducer. The data are examinedfor conformance to procedural requirements, such as distilla-tion rates. The test has to be repeated if any specified conditionhas not been met.4.4 Test results are commonly expressed as percent volumeevaporated
24、or percent volume recovered versus correspondingvapor temperature, either in a table or graphically, as a plot ofthe distillation curve.4.5 This test method uses a small specimen volume andminiaturized apparatus which can be portable for field testing.5. Significance and Use5.1 The distillation (vol
25、atility) characteristics of hydrocar-bons have an important effect on their safety and performance,especially in the case of fuels and solvents. The boiling rangegives information on the composition, the properties, and thebehavior of the fuel during storage and use. Volatility is themajor determina
26、nt of the tendency of a hydrocarbon mixture toproduce potentially explosive vapors.5.2 The distillation characteristics are equally important forboth automotive and aviation gasolines, affecting starting,warm-up, and tendency to vapor lock at high operatingtemperatures or high altitude, or both. The
27、 presence of highboiling point components in these and other fuels can signifi-cantly affect the degree of formation of solid combustiondeposits.5.3 Volatility, as it affects the rate of evaporation, is animportant factor in the application of many solvents, particu-larly those used in paints.5.4 Di
28、stillation limits are often included in petroleum prod-uct specifications, in commercial contract agreements, processrefinery/control applications, and for compliance to regulatoryrules.6.

Quality control check mate-rials used in this test method are toluene (WarningFlammable and a health hazard) and hexadecane (see Section10). Unless otherwise indicated,
36、 it is intended that all reagentsconform to the specifications of the Committee on AnalyticalReagents of the American Chemical Society5where suchspecifications are available. Lower purities can be used,provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficientpurity to permit its use without
37、 lessening the accuracy of thedetermination.NOTE 1The chemicals in this section are suggested for quality controlprocedures (see Section 10) and are not used for instrument calibration.8.

Where the procedure isdependent upon the group, the section headings will be somarked.8.2 Sampling:8.2.1 Only samples that are liquid at room temperature canbe tested by this test method.8.2.2 Sampling shall be done as described in Table 2 and inaccordance with Practice D

If this is not possiblebecause, for instance, the product to be sampled is at ambienttemperatur
40、e, the sample shall be drawn into a bottle prechilledto below 10C (50F), in such a manner that agitation is keptat a minimum. Close the bottle immediately with a tight-fittingclosure. (WarningDo not completely fill and tightly seal acold bottle of sample due to the of the likelihood of breakageupon
41、warming.)8.2.2.2 Groups 3 and 4Collect the sample at ambienttemperature. After sampling, close the sample bottle immedi-ately with a tight-fitting closure.8.2.2.3 If the sample received by the testing laboratory hasbeen sampled by others and it is not known whether samplinghas been performed as desc
