2、 the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of t

3、he boilingrange distribution of petroleum products by capillary gaschromatography using flame ionization detection. This stan-dard test method has been developed through the harmoniza-tion of two test methods, Test Method D6352 and IP 480. Asboth of these methods cover the same scope and include ver

4、ysimilar operating conditions, it was agreed that a singlestandard method would benefit the global simulated distillationcommunity.1.2 This test method is not applicable for the analysis ofpetroleum or petroleum products containing low molecularweight components (for example naphthas, reformates, ga

5、so-lines, diesel). Components containing hetero atoms (for ex-ample alcohols, ethers, acids, or esters) or residue are not to beanalyzed by this test method. See Test Methods D7096, D2887,or D7213 for possible applicability to analysis of these types ofmaterials. This method is also not suitable for

6、 samples that willnot elute completely from the gas chromatographic column,leaving residues. For such samples as crude oils and residues,see Test Methods D5307 and D7169.1.3 This test method is applicable to distillates with initialboiling points above 100C and final boiling points below735C (carbon

7、 110); for example, distillates (IBP 100C),base oils and lubricating base stocks.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated wit

8、h its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

22、tion.3.3 AbbreviationsA common abbreviation of hydrocar-bon compounds is to designate the number of carbon atoms inthe compound. A prefix is used to indicate the carbon chainform, while a subscripted suffix denotes the number of carbonatoms (for example n-C10for normal-decane, i-C14for iso-tetradeca

23、ne).4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The boiling range distribution determination by distilla-tion is simulated by the use of gas chromatography. Anon-polar open tubular (capillary) gas chromatographic col-umn is used to elute the hydrocarbon components of the samplein order of increasing boiling point.

24、4.2 A sample aliquot is diluted with a viscosity reducingsolvent and introduced into the chromatographic system.Sample vaporization is provided by separate heating of thepoint of injection or in conjunction with column oven heating.4.3 The column oven temperature is raised at a specifiedlinear rate

25、to affect separation of the hydrocarbon componentsin order of increasing boiling point. The elution of samplecomponents is quantitatively determined using a flame ioniza-tion detector. The detector signal is recorded as area slices forconsecutive retention time intervals during the analysis.4.4 Rete

26、ntion times of known normal paraffin hydrocarbons,spanning the scope of the test method, are determined andcorrelated to their boiling point temperatures. The normalizedcumulative corrected sample areas for each consecutive re-corded time interval are used to calculate the boiling rangedistribution.

27、 The boiling point temperature at each reportedpercent off increment is calculated from the retention timecalibration.5. Significance and Use5.1 The boiling range distribution of medium and heavypetroleum distillate fractions provides an insight into thecomposition of feed stocks and products relate

28、d to petroleumrefining processes (for example, hydrocracking, hydrotreating,visbreaking, or deasphalting). The gas chromatographic simu-lation of this determination can be used to replace conventionaldistillation methods for control of refining operations. This testmethod can be used for product spe

29、cification testing with themutual agreement of interested parties.5.2 This test method extends the scope of boiling rangedetermination by gas chromatography to include distillates(IBP 100C) and heavy petroleum distillate fractions beyondthe scope of Test Method D2887 (538C).5.3 Boiling range distrib

30、utions obtained by this test methodhave not been analyzed for correlation to those obtained by lowefficiency distillation, such as with Test Method D86 or D1160.This test method does not claim agreement between thesephysical distillations and simulated distillation. Efforts toresolve this question w

31、ill continue. When successful resolu-tions of the questions are determined, this test method will berevised accordingly.6.
