Summary of Test Method4.1 Based on its composition, vapor pressure, expected IBPor expected EP, or combination th
34、ereof, the sample is placed inone of four groups. Apparatus arrangement, condenser tem-perature, and other operational variables are defined by thegroup in which the sample falls.4.2 A 100-mL specimen of the sample is distilled underprescribed conditions for the group in which the sample falls.The d
35、istillation is performed in a laboratory batch distillationunit at ambient pressure under conditions that are designed toprovide approximately one theoretical plate fractionation. Sys-tematic observations of temperature readings and volumes ofcondensate are made, depending on the needs of the user o
36、f thedata. The volume of the residue and the losses are alsorecorded.4.3 At the conclusion of the distillation, the observed vaportemperatures can be corrected for barometric pressure and thedata are examined for conformance to procedural require-ments, such as distillation rates. The test is repeat
37、ed if anyspecified condition has not been met.4.4 Test results are commonly expressed as percent evapo-rated or percent recovered versus corresponding temperature,either in a table or graphically, as a plot of the distillationcurve.5. Significance and Use5.1 The basic test method of determining the
38、boiling rangeof a petroleum product by performing a simple batch distilla-tion has been in use as long as the petroleum industry hasexisted. It is one of the oldest test methods under the jurisdic-tion of ASTM Committee D02, dating from the time when itwas still referred to as the Engler distillatio
39、n. Since the testmethod has been in use for such an extended period, atremendous number of historical data bases exist for estimatingend-use sensitivity on products and processes.5.2 The distillation (volatility) characteristics of hydrocar-bons have an important effect on their safety and performan
40、ce,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 determinant of the tendency of a hydrocarbon mixture toproduce potentially explosive vapors.5.3 The disti
41、llation characteristics are critically importantfor both automotive and aviation gasolines, affecting starting,warm-up, and tendency to vapor lock at high operatingtemperature or at high altitude, or both. The presence of highboiling point components in these and other fuels can signifi-cantly affec
42、t the degree of formation of solid combustiondeposits.5.4 Volatility, as it affects rate of evaporation, is an impor-tant factor in the application of many solvents, particularlythose used in paints.5.5 Distillation limits are often included in petroleum prod-uct specifications, in commercial contra
43、ct agreements, processrefinery/control applications, and for compliance to regulatoryrules.6. Apparatus6.1 Basic Components of the Apparatus:6.1.1 The basic components of the distillation unit are thedistillation flask, the condenser and associated cooling bath, ametal shield or enclosure for the di
44、stillation flask, the heatsource, the flask support, the temperature measuring device,and the receiving cylinder to collect the distillate.6.1.2 Figs. 1 and 2 are examples of manual distillation units.6.1.3 In addition to the basic components described in 6.1.1,automated units also are equipped with
45、 a system to measureand automatically record the temperature and the associatedrecovered volume in the receiving cylinder.6.2 Adetailed description of the apparatus is given inAnnexA2.6.3 Temperature Measuring Device:6.3.1 Mercury-in-glass thermometers, if used, shall be filledwith an inert gas, gra
