Designation:D6352191Standard Test Method forBoiling Range Distribution of Petroleum Distillates inBoiling Range from 174 C to 700 C by GasChromatography1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6352;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.1NOTEEditorially added research report information to Table 3 in May 2020.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of the boilingrange distribution of petroleum distillate fractions.The testmethod is applicable to petroleum distillate fractions having aninitial boiling point greater than 174 C(345 F)and a finalboiling point of less than 700 C(1292 F)(C10 to C90)atatmospheric pressure as measured by this test method.1.2 The test method is not applicable for the analysis ofpetroleum or petroleum products containing low molecularweight components(for example naphthas,reformates,gasolines,crude oils).Materials containing heterogeneouscomponents(for example alcohols,ethers,acids,or esters)orresidue are not to be analyzed by this test method.See TestMethods D3710,D2887,or D5307 for possible applicability toanalysis of these types of materials.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.The values stated in inch-pound units are for infor-mation only and may be included as parenthetical values.1.4 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.1.5 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 PressureD1160 Test Method for Distillation of Petroleum Products atReduced PressureD2887 Test Method for Boiling Range Distribution of Pe-troleum Fractions by Gas ChromatographyD2892 Test Method for Distillation of Crude Petroleum(15-Theoretical Plate Column)D3710 Test Method for Boiling Range Distribution of Gaso-line and Gasoline Fractions by Gas Chromatography(Withdrawn 2014)3D4626 Practice for Calculation of Gas ChromatographicResponse FactorsD5307 Test Method for Determination of Boiling RangeDistribution of Crude Petroleum by Gas Chromatography(Withdrawn 2011)3D6299 Practice for Applying Statistical Quality Assuranceand Control Charting Techniques to Evaluate AnalyticalMeasurement System PerformanceE355 Practice for Gas Chromatography Terms and Relation-shipsE594 Practice for Testing Flame Ionization Detectors Usedin Gas or Supercritical Fluid ChromatographyE1510 Practice for Installing Fused Silica Open TubularCapillary Columns in Gas Chromatographs3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsThis test method makes reference to manycommon gas chromatographic procedures,terms,and relation-ships.For definitions of these terms used in this test method,refer to Practices E355,E594,and E1510.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products,Liquid Fuels,and Lubricants and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D02.04.0H on Chromatographic Distribution Methods.Current edition approved Dec.1,2019.Published February 2020.Originallyapproved in 1998.Last previous edition approved in 2015 as D6352 15.DOI:10.1520/D6352-19E01.2For 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 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.13.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 area slice,nthe area resulting from the integration ofthe chromatographic detector signal within a specified reten-tion time interval.In area slice mode(see 6.4.2),peak detectionparameters are bypassed and the detector signal integral isrecorded as area slices of consecutive,fixed du
