This Standard specifies the method that uses laboratory batch distillation equipment to quantitatively determine the distillation characteristics of petroleum products at atmospheric pressure. This Standard includes measurement methods for manual instruments and automatic instruments. This Standard is applicable to distillate fuels such as natural gasoline (stabilized light hydrocarbons), light and middle distillates, automotive spark-ignition engine fuels, aviation gasoline, jet fuel, diesel and kerosene, as well as naphtha and white spirit products. This Standard does not apply to products that contain more residues.
