Standard Test Method for Cloud Point of Petroleum Products and Liquid Fuels (Mini Method)

Importancia y uso:

5.1 The cloud point of petroleum products and biodiesel fuels is an index of the lowest temperature of their utility for certain applications. Wax crystals of sufficient quantity can plug filters used in some fuel systems.

5.2 Petroleum blending operations require precise measurement of the cloud point.

5.3 This test method can determine the temperature of the test specimen at which wax crystals have formed sufficiently to be observed as a cloud with a resolution of 0.1 °C.

5.4 This test method provides results that, when corrected for bias and rounded to the next lower integer (see 12.2), have been found equivalent to Test Method D2500.

5.5 This test method determines the cloud point in a shorter time period than required by Test Method D2500.
