There is no dry point in the gasoline sample
Thread Content
Why is there no dry point when using crude gasoline as a sample? The dry point is reached at 90%, and for diesel, it’s also at 95% without any dry point present, and there isn’t much residue either. Why does this happen?
We make our gasoline with a lower moisture content; diesel is made to have 95% moisture content, while gasoline has residual moisture
How can gasoline not have a dry point or boiling point? When we determine the boiling range of gasoline, it is usually possible to determine the dry point; **the relevant specification seems to be that it should not exceed 195 degrees. As mentioned above, for diesel, a distillation temperature of 95% is generally sufficient; a value not exceeding 365 degrees is acceptable. For gasoline, it’s the residue that matters, while for diesel it’s the recovery rate. It’s actually the same principle.
I’ve encountered this situation too; I don’t even reach 90%. Understanding the testing process for the dry point of gasoline will make it clear. The reason is an excessive amount of gas in the oil.
