Article: Researchers from University of Calgary discuss findings in fuel research.

"The characterization of crude oil involves dividing the oil into pseudocomponents and allocating mole fractions, molar mass, specific gravity, average boiling point. and critical properties to each component. The characterization is typically based on distillation data reported in terms of true boiling points," researchers in Calgary, Canada report.

"Standard assay types such as the ASTM D86 or ASTM D1160 vacuum distillation do not provide well established Saturated bubble temperatures and require empirical interconversion Curves to convert the assay data into true boiling point (TBP) data. Recently developed assays such as the ASTM D5236 and Bruno's new ...
