Input of the boiling range of petroleum components
Thread Content
Recent simulations have raised a question: when entering petroleum distillates into the boiling range specification, such as paraffin oils, should ASTM D1160 or ASTM D2887 be used? Note: (Previously, ASTMD1160, the vacuum distillation analysis method, was always used.) However, at present, refineries use chromatographic simulation to analyze the distillation range of wax oil, by estimating the distillation range of the heavy fraction oils; whether ASTM D2887 is used or not, what is the magnitude of the error resulting from this choice? ）
For analyzing the distillation range of reconstituted fractionated oil, ASTMD2887 is used; thus, ASTMD2887 is the appropriate standard
