The boiling point temperature at eachreported percent off increment is calculated from the retentiontime calibration.4.5 The retention time versus boiling point curve is cali-brated with normal paraffin h

Significance and Use5.1 The boiling range distribution of FAMES provides aninsight into the composition

30、 of product related to the transes-terification process. This gas chromatographic determination ofboiling range can be used to replace conventional distillationmethods for product specification testing with the mutualagreement of interested parties.5.2 Biodiesel (FAMES) exhibits a boiling point rath
