Designation:D734514596/12Standard Test Method forDistillation of Petroleum Products and Liquid Fuels atAtmospheric Pressure(Micro Distillation Method)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7345;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 a procedure for determinationof the distillation characteristics of petroleum products andliquid fuels having boiling range between 20 C to 400 C atatmospheric pressure using an automatic micro distillationapparatus.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,regular andlow sulfur diesel fuels,biodiesel(B100),biodiesel blends up to20%biodiesel,special petroleum spirits,naphthas,whitespirits,kerosines,burner fuels,and marine fuels.1.3 The test method is also applicable to hydrocarbons witha narrow boiling range,like organic solvents or oxygenatedcompounds.1.4 The test method is designed for the analysis of distillateproducts;it is not applicable to products containing appreciablequantities of residual material.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.6 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 and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 All standards are subject to revision,and parties toagreement on this test method are to apply the most recentedition of the standards indicated below,unless otherwisespecified,such as in contractual agreements or regulatory ruleswhere earlier versions of the method(s)identified may berequired.2.2 ASTM Standards:2D86 Test Method for Distillation of Petroleum Products atAtmospheric PressureD323 Test Method for Vapor Pressure of Petroleum Products(Reid Method)D1160 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)D5854 Practice for Mixing and Handling of Liquid Samplesof Petroleum and Petroleum ProductsD6299 Practice for Applying Statistical Quality Assuranceand Control Charting Techniques to Evaluate AnalyticalMeasurement System PerformanceD6300 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 Material1This 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.1,2014.Published January 2015.Originallyapproved in 2007.Last previous edition approved in 2008 as D7345 08.DOI:10.1520/D7345-14.2For 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.*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 States1 2.3 Energy Institute Standards:4IP69 Petroleum products-Determination of vapour pressure-Reid methodIP 394 Liquid petroleum products-Vapour pressure-Part 1:Determination of air saturated vapour pressure(ASVP)2.4 ISO Standards:5Guide 34 General requirements for the competence of refer-ence material producersGuide 35 Reference materials General and statisticalprinciples for certification3.Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 automatic apparatus,nmicroprocessor-controlledunit that performs the procedures of automatically controllingthe evaporation of a liquid specimen under specific conditionsof this test method,collecting measurement data and convert-ing this data by patented algorithm in order to predict distilla-tion results
