Summary of Test Method4.1 After preliminary heating, the test specimen is cooled ata specified rate and examined at intervals of 3 C for flowcharacteristics. The lowest temperature at which

19、movement ofthe test specimen is observed is recorded as the pour point.5. Significance and Use5.1 The pour point of a crude oil is an index of the lowesttemperature of handleability for certain applications.5.2 This is the only pour point method specifically designedfor crude oils.5.3 The maximum an

20、d minimum pour point temperaturesprovide a temperature window where a crude oil, depending onits thermal history, might appear in the liquid as well as thesolid state.5.4 The test method can be used to supplement othermeasurements of cold flow behavior. It is especially useful forthe screening of th

Inspect the walls of the originalcontainer to ensure that no high melting point material is leftsticking to the wall.NOTE 6It is not possible to define universal mandatory rules for thepreparation of crude oil test samples.
