Designation:D734414Standard 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,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 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 and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 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andGasoline-Oxygenate Blends(Dry Method)D5190 Test Method for Vapor Pressure of Petroleum Prod-ucts(Automatic Method)(Withdrawn 2012)3D5191 Test Method for Vapor Pressure of Petroleum Prod-ucts(Mini Method)D5482 Test Method for Vapor Pressure of Petroleum Prod-ucts(Mini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)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 Pressure3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 decomposition,nof a hydrocarbon,pyrolysis orcracking of a molecule yielding smaller molecules with lowerboiling points than the original molecule.3.1.1.1 decomposition point,nin distillation,the correctedtemperature reading that coincides with the first indications ofthermal decomposition of the specimen.3.1.2 dynamic holdup,nin D7344 distillation,amount ofmaterial present in the distillation column,and in the condenserduring the distillation.3.1.3 end point(EP)or final boiling point(FBP),nmaximum corrected temperature reading obtained duringthe test.1This 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 2011 as D7344 11a.DOI:10.1520/D7344-14.2For 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.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 States1 3.1.4 initial boiling point(IBP),nin D7344 distillation,corrected temperature reading at the instant of the first detec-tion of condensate in the receiver.3.1.5 percent evaporated,nin distillation,sum of thepercent recovered and the percent loss.3.1.6 percent loss,n in distillation,one hundred minus thepercent total recovery.3.1.6.1 corrected loss,npercent loss corrected for baro-metric pressure.3.1.7 percent recovered,nin distillation,the volume ofcondensate collected relative to the sample charge.3.1.8 percent recovery,nin distillation,maximum percentrecovered relative to the sample charge.3.1.8.1 corrected perce
