In the ISO 3405 standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the distillation properties of light and medium distillates obtained from petroleum and related products of synthetic or biological origin, with initial boiling points above 0 degrees and end points below approximately 40 degrees, using manual or automatic equipment. A test method for determining Light distillates are generally automotive motor gasoline, automotive engine ethanol fuel blends containing up to 85 percent ethanol, and aviation gasoline. Medium distillates are generally aviation turbine fuel, kerosene, diesel, diesel containing up to 30 percent fatty acid methyl ester, burner fuel, and marine fuels that do not contain significant residues. of this standard For purposes of this, the percentage expression is used to represent the volume fraction of a material.
The distillation (volatility) properties of hydrocarbons and related products of synthetic or biological origin have a significant impact on their safety and performance, especially when it comes to fuels and solvents. The boiling range provides important information about composition and behavior during storage and use, and evaporation rate is an important factor in the application of many solvents.
To control end-use performance and to regulate the formation of vapors (volatile organic compounds, VOC) that form explosive mixtures with air or escape to the atmosphere as emissions, limit values are applied to the distillation properties specified in most distilled petroleum product and liquid fuel specifications.
For the purposes of this standard, the term boiling point refers to the thermometer reading observed as the first drop of condensate falls from the lower end of the condenser tube. The term final boiling point refers to the endpoint maximum thermometer reading obtained during the test. The percent evaporation expression is the sum of the percent healed and percent lost.
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, our organization, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, test for the determination of the distillation properties of petroleum and related products obtained from natural or synthetic sources at atmospheric pressure within the scope of ISO 3405 standard. also provides services.
