Summary of Test Method4.1 A specimen of the sample is transferred into the distil-lation flask, the distillation flas
27、k is placed into position on theautomatic apparatus, and heat is applied to the bottom of thedistillation flask.4.2 The automatic apparatus measures and records speci-men vapor and liquid temperatures, and pressure in thedistillation flask as the sample gradually distills under atmo-spheric pressure
28、 conditions. Automatic recordings are madethroughout the distillation and the data stored into the appara-tus memory.4.3 At the conclusion of the distillation, the collected data istreated by the data processing system, converted to distillationcharacteristics and corrected for barometric pressure.4
29、.4 Test results are commonly expressed as percent recov-ered or evaporated versus corresponding temperature in com-pliance with industry recognized standard form and referencemethod either in a table or graphically, as a plot of thedistillation curve.5. Significance and Use5.1 The distillation (vola
30、tility) 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 determinan
31、t of the tendency of a hydrocarbon mixture toproduce potentially explosive vapors.5.2 The distillation 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.
32、 The presence of highboiling point components in these and other fuels can signifi-cantly affect the degree of formation of solid combustiondeposits.5.3 Distillation limits are often included in petroleum prod-uct specifications, in commercial contract agreements, processrefinery/control application
33、s, and for compliance to regulatoryrules.5.4 This test method can be applied to contaminated prod-ucts or hydrocarbon mixtures. This is valuable for fast productquality screening, refining process monitoring, fuel adultera-tion control, or other purposes including use as a portableapparatus for fiel

Sampling, Storage, and Sample Conditioning8.1 S
44、ampling:8.1.1 The extreme sensitivity of volatility measurements tolosses through evaporation and the resulting changes in com-position is such as to require the utmost precaution in thedrawing and handling of volatile product samples.8.1.2 Obtain a sample and test specimen in accordance withPractic
45、e D 4057, D 4177 or D 5854 when appropriate. At least50 mL of sample is recommended.8.1.3 Sample shall be free from any suspended solids orother insoluble contaminations. Obtain another sample orremove solid particle by filtration. During filtration operationtake care to minimize any loss of light e
46、nds.8.2 Sample Storage:8.2.1 All samples shall be stored in a tightly closed andleak-free container away from direct sunlight or sources ofdirect heat.8.2.2 Protect samples containing light materials havingexpected initial boiling point lower than 100C from excessivetemperatures prior to testing. Th
47、is can be accomplished bystorage of the sample container in an appropriate ice bath orrefrigerator at a temperature below 10C. Other samples can bestored at ambient or lower temperature.8.2.3 If the sample has partially or completely solidifiedduring storage, it is to be carefully heated to a temper
48、aturewhen it is completely fluid. It shall be vigorously shaken aftermelting, prior to opening the sample container, to ensurehomogeneity.8.3 Wet Samples:8.3.1 Samples of materials that visibly contain water are notsuitable for testing by this test method. If the sample is not dry,obtain another sam
49、ple that is free from suspended water.8.3.2 If such a sample cannot be obtained, remove any freewater by placing approximately 30 mL of the sample to betested in a glass conical flask containing approximately 10 g ofthe drying agent. Stopper and shake gently. Allow the mixtureto settle for approximately 15 min. Once the sample shows novisible signs of water, use a decanted portion of the sample forthe analysis. It is recommended to filter the test portion fromthe residual or suspended drying agent. During this drying andfiltration operations take care t
