Summary of Test Method4.1 A weighed s

35、ample of 1 L to 30 L of stabilized crudepetroleum is distilled to a maximum temperature of 400 CAET in a fractionating column having an efficiency at totalreflux of at least 14, but not greater than 18, theoretical plates.4.2 A reflux ratio of 5:1 is maintained at all operatingpressures, except that

36、 at the lowest operating pressures be-tween 0.674 kPa and 0.27 kPa (5 mm and 2 mm Hg), a refluxratio of 2:1 is optional. In cooperative testing or in cases ofdispute, the stages of low pressure, the reflux ratios, and thetemperatures of cut points must be mutually agreed upon by theinterested partie

37、s prior to beginning the distillation.4.3 Observations of temperature, pressure, and other vari-ables are recorded at intervals and at the end of each cut orfraction.4.4 The mass and density of each cut or fraction areobtained. Distillation yields by mass are calculated from themass of all fractions

38、, including liquefied gas cut and theresidue. Distillation yields by volume of all fractions and theresidue at 15 C are calculated from mass and density.4.5 From these data the TBP curves in mass or volumepercent, or both, versus AET are drawn.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is one of a

39、number of tests conductedon a crude oil to determine its value. It provides an estimate ofthe yields of fractions of various boiling ranges and is thereforevaluable in technical discussions of a commercial nature.5.2 This test method corresponds to the standard laboratorydistillation efficiency refe

40、rred to as 15/5. The fractions pro-duced can be analyzed as produced or combined to producesamples for analytical studies, engineering, and product qualityevaluations. The preparation and evaluation of such blends isnot part of this test method.5.3 This test method can be used as an analytical tool

Apparatus6.1 Distillation at Atmospheric PressureAll componentsmust conform to the requirements specified as follows. Auto-matic devices can be employed pr

42、ovided they meet the samerequirements. A typical apparatus is illustrated in Fig. 1.6.1.1 Distillation FlaskThe distillation flask shall be of asize that is at least 50 % larger than the volume of the charge.The size of the charge, between 1.0 L and 30 L, is determinedby the holdup characteristics o

43、f the fractionating column, asshown in Table 1 and described in Annex A2. The distillationflask shall have at least one sidearm.6.1.1.1 The sidearm is used as a thermowell. It shallterminate about 5 mm from the bottom of the flask to ensure itsimmersion at the end of the distillation.When a second s

44、idearmis present, it can be used for pressure drop detection with anitrogen bleed or for mechanical stirring, or both.6.1.1.2 If a magnetic stirrer is used with a spherical flask,the flask shall have a slightly flattened or concave area at thebottom on which the magnetic stirrer can rotate withoutgr

45、inding the glass. In this case, termination of the thermowellshall be off center 40 mm 6 5 mm to avoid the magneticstirring bar. Boiling chips can be used as an alternative to astirrer.6.1.1.3 (WarningWhile the advantage of visibility inglass distillation flasks is desirable, flasks of glass may bec

46、omehazardous the larger the charge they contain. For this reason,glass flasks of a volume greater than 10 L are not recom-mended.)6.1.2 Heating SystemHeating of the flask shall be pro-vided in such a way that full boilup can be maintained at asteady rate at all pressure levels. An electric heating m

47、antlecovering the lower half of the flask and having one third of theheat in an element located in the bottom central area and theremaining two thirds in the rest of the hemisphere is recom-mended. While proportioning controllers are preferred, heatinput can be manually adjusted by use of a variable

48、 autotransformer on each circuit, the smaller heater being automati-cally controlled by an instrument sensing the pressure drop ofthe column as registered in a differential pressure instrument oralternatively by direct measurement of distillation rate.6.1.2.1 Minimum wattage required to provide full

49、 boilup ofcrude petroleum is approximately 0.125 WmL of charge.Twice this amount is recommended for quick heat-up.6.1.2.2 The heat density in the flask heaters is approxi-mately equal to 0.5 Wcm2to 0.6 Wcm2. This requires the useof nickel-reinforced quartz fabric to ensure a reasonableservice life.6.1.2.3 Immersion heaters can be employed in a similar wayand have the advantage of faster response, but they are morefragile and require a specially designed flask to ensure that theheating elements remain immersed at the end of the run.
