Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determi

3、nation of the boiling range distribution of petroleum products by capillary gaschromatography using flame ionization detection. This standard test method has been developed through the harmonization of twotest methods, Test Method D6352 and IP 480. As both of these methods cover the same scope and i

4、nclude very similar operatingconditions, it was agreed that a single standard method would benefit the global simulated distillation community.1.2 This test method is not applicable for the analysis of petroleum or petroleum products containing low molecular weightcomponents (for example naphthas, r

5、eformates, gasolines, diesel). Components containing hetero atoms (for example alcohols,ethers, acids, or esters) or residue are not to be analyzed by this test method. See Test Methods D7096, D2887, or D7213 forpossible applicability to analysis of these types of materials. This method is also not

6、suitable for samples that will not elutecompletely from the gas chromatographic column, leaving residues. For such samples as crude oils and residues, see Test MethodsD5307 and D7169.1.3 This test method is applicable to distillates with initial boiling points above 100 C and final boiling points be

7、low 735 C(carbon 110); for example, distillates (IBP 100 C), base oils and lubricating base stocks.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, i

Terminology3.1 DefinitionsThis test method makes reference to many common gas chromatographic procedures, terms, and relationships

18、.For definitions of these terms used in this test method, refer to Practices E355, E594, and E1510.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 area slice, nthe area resulting from the integration of the chromatographic detector signal within a specified retentiontime interval. In area s

19、lice mode (see 6.4.1), peak detection parameters are bypassed and the detector signal integral is recordedas area slices of consecutive, fixed duration time intervals.3.2.2 corrected area slice, nan area slice corrected for baseline offset by subtraction of the exactly corresponding area slicein a p

20、reviously recorded blank (non-sample) analysis.3.2.3 cumulative corrected area, nthe accumulated sum of corrected area slices from the beginning of the analysis througha given retention time, ignoring any non-sample area (for example, solvent).3.2.4 final boiling point (FBP), nthe temperature (corre

21、sponding to the retention time) at which a cumulative corrected areacount equal to 99.5 % of the total sample area under the chromatogram is obtained.3.2.5 initial boiling point (IBP), nthe temperature (corresponding to the retention time) at which a cumulative corrected areacount equal to 0.5 % of

22、the total sample area under the chromatogram is obtained.3.2.6 slice rate, nthe frequency used in sampling (analog) the chromatographic detector signal during an analysis. The slicerate is expressed in Hz (for example integrations or slices per second).3.2.7 slice time, nthe inverse function of the

23、acquisition rate. It is the time duration of each sampling pulse usually expressedin seconds. The slice time is the time at the end of each contiguous area slice.3.2.8 total sample area, nthe cumulative corrected area, from the initial area point to the final area point, where thechromatographic sig

24、nal has returned to baseline after complete sample elution.3.3 AbbreviationsA common abbreviation of hydrocarbon compounds is to designate the number of carbon atoms in thecompound. A prefix is used to indicate the carbon chain form, while a subscripted suffix denotes the number of carbon atoms (for

25、example n-C10 for normal-decane, i-C14 for iso-tetradecane).4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The boiling range distribution determination by distillation is simulated by the use of gas chromatography.Anon-polar opentubular (capillary) gas chromatographic column is used to elute the hydrocarbon component

26、s of the sample in order of increasingboiling point.4.2 A sample aliquot is diluted with a viscosity reducing solvent and introduced into the chromatographic system. Samplevaporization is provided by separate heating of the point of injection or in conjunction with column oven heating.4.3 The column

27、 oven temperature is raised at a specified linear rate to affect separation of the hydrocarbon components in orderof increasing boiling point. The elution of sample components is quantitatively determined using a flame ionization detector. Thedetector signal is recorded as area slices for consecutiv

28、e retention time intervals during the analysis.4.4 Retention times of known normal paraffin hydrocarbons, spanning the scope of the test method, are determined andcorrelated to their boiling point temperatures. The normalized cumulative corrected sample areas for each consecutive recordedtime interv

29、al are used to calculate the boiling range distribution. The boiling point temperature at each reported percent offincrement is calculated from the retention time calibration.5. Significance and Use5.1 The boiling range distribution of medium and heavy petroleum distillate fractions provides an insi

30、ght into the compositionof feed stocks and products related to petroleum refining processes (for example, hydrocracking, hydrotreating, visbreaking, ordeasphalting). The gas chromatographic simulation of this determination can be used to replace conventional distillation methodsfor control of refini

31、ng operations. This test method can be used for product specification testing with the mutual agreement ofinterested parties.4 Available from American National Standards Institute (ANSI), 25 W. 43rd St., 4th Floor, New York, NY 10036, http:/www.ansi.org.D7500 1525.2 This test method extends the scop

32、e of boiling range determination by gas chromatography to include distillates(IBP 100 C) and heavy petroleum distillate fractions beyond the scope of Test Method D2887 (538 C).5.3 Boiling range distributions obtained by this test method have not been analyzed for correlation to those obtained by low

33、efficiency distillation, such as with Test Method D86 or D1160. This test method does not claim agreement between these physicaldistillations and simulated distillation. Efforts to resolve this question will continue. When successful resolutions of the questionsare determined, this test method will

34、be revised accordingly.6.
