Term explanation: Pour point is the lowest temperature at which a petroleum product, under specified testing equipment and conditions, stops flowing when cooled, and begins to flow again when gently heated.

The lowest temperature at which the cooled sample of the oil can flow under specified test conditions
The lowest temperature at which a cooled sample of petroleum products can flow under specified test conditions.
Pour point: The lowest temperature at which a lubricant sample can flow under specified test conditions when cooled.
The pour point is the lowest temperature at which a petroleum product can flow out of a standard-shaped container.
The pour point refers to the lowest temperature at which a cooled sample of an oil can flow under specified test conditions.
The pour point refers to the lowest temperature at which a cooled sample of an oil can flow under specified test conditions； The freezing point refers to the highest temperature at which, under specified test conditions, the surface of the cooled oil sample stops moving, and it is expressed in °C. The pour point is a standard indicator used to measure the low-temperature flowability of lubricants and similar substances. For the same type of oil, its pour point is a few degrees higher than its freezing point; in the past the freezing point was commonly used, but today the pour point is the internationally accepted standard. A high pour point or freezing point means that the oil has poor flowability at low temperatures. Based on the pour point of oils, people can determine the measures that should be taken during transportation, storage, and receipt in low-temperature conditions, and it can also be used to assess the low-temperature performance of certain oils.
It’s roughly the temperature at which diesel can flow on a plate at a certain angle, which is similar to its freezing point.
The pour point is the lowest temperature at which a cooled sample of the oil can still flow under specified test conditions; the freezing point is the highest temperature at which the surface of the cooled oil sample stops moving under specified test conditions. Both are expressed in °C.
The pour point refers to the lowest temperature at which a cooled sample of an oil can flow under specified test conditions
