Designation:D734417aStandard Test Method forDistillation of Petroleum Products and Liquid Fuels atAtmospheric Pressure(Mini Method)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7344;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the procedure for the determi-nation of the distillation characteristics of petroleum productsand liquid fuels in the range of 20 C to 400 C(68 F to752 F)using miniaturized automatic distillation apparatus.1.2 This test method is applicable to such products as:lightand middle distillates,automotive spark-ignition engine fuels,automotive spark-ignition engine fuels containing up to 10%ethanol,aviation gasolines,aviation turbine fuels,all grades ofNo.1 and No.2 diesel fuels(as described in SpecificationD975),biodiesel(B100),biodiesel blends up to 30%biodiesel,special petroleum spirits,pure petrochemical compounds,naphthas,white spirits,kerosenes,furnace fuel oils,anddistillate marine fuels.NOTE1The up to 10%by volume ethanol limit in spark ignitionengine fuels(E10)was the range used in the supporting interlaboratorystudies.Spark ignition engine fuels containing 10%by volume ethanoland up to 20%by volume ethanol(E20)may be analyzed,however thestated precision and bias does not apply.1.3 This test method is designed for the analysis of distillateproducts;it is not applicable to products containing appreciablequantities of residual material.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D86 Test Method for Distillation of Petroleum Products andLiquid Fuels at Atmospheric PressureD323 Test Method for Vapor Pressure of Petroleum Products(Reid Method)D975 Specification for Diesel Fuel OilsD1160 Test Method for Distillation of Petroleum Products atReduced PressureD4057 Practice for Manual Sampling of Petroleum andPetroleum ProductsD4177 Practice for Automatic Sampling of Petroleum andPetroleum ProductsD4953 Test Method for Vapor Pressure of Gasoline andGasoline-Oxygenate Blends(Dry Method)D5190 Test Method for Vapor Pressure of Petroleum Prod-ucts(Automatic Method)(Withdrawn 2012)3D5191 Test Method for Vapor Pressure of Petroleum Prod-ucts(Mini Method)D5482 Test Method for Vapor Pressure of Petroleum Prod-ucts(Mini MethodAtmospheric)D6300 Practice for Determination of Precision and BiasData for Use in Test Methods for Petroleum Products andLubricantsD6708 Practice for Statistical Assessment and Improvementof Expected Agreement Between Two Test Methods thatPurport to Measure the Same Property of a Material2.2 Energy Institute Standards:4IP 69 Determination of Vapour PressureReid MethodIP 394 Determination of Air Saturated Vapour Pressure1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products,Liquid Fuels,and Lubricants and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D02.08 on Volatility.Current edition approved Dec.15,2017.Published February 2018.Originallyapproved in 2007.Last previous edition approved in 2017 as D7344 17.DOI:10.1520/D7344-17A.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.4Available from Energy Institute,61 New Cavendish St.,London,WIG 7AR,U.K.,http:/www.energyinst.org.uk.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 decomposition,nof a hydrocarbon,pyrolysis orcracking of a molecule yielding smaller mole
