Designation:D288722Designation:406/14(2017)Standard Test Method forBoiling Range Distribution of Petroleum Fractions by GasChromatography1,2This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2887;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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of the boilingrange distribution of petroleum products.The test method isapplicable to petroleum products and fractions having a finalboiling point of 538 C(1000 F)or lower at atmosphericpressure as measured by this test method.This test method islimited to samples having a boiling range greater than 55.5 C(100 F),and having a vapor pressure sufficiently low to permitsampling at ambient temperature.NOTE1Since a boiling range is the difference between twotemperatures,only the constant of 1.8 F C is used in the conversion ofthe temperature range from one system of units to another.1.1.1 Procedure A(Sections 6 14)Allows a largerselection of columns and analysis conditions such as packedand capillary columns as well as a Thermal ConductivityDetector in addition to the Flame Ionization Detector.Analysistimes range from 14 min to 60 min.1.1.2 Procedure B(Sections 15 23)Is restricted to only3 capillary columns and requires no sample dilution.Inaddition,Procedure B is used not only for the sample typesdescribed in Procedure A but also for the analysis of samplescontaining biodiesel mixtures B5,B10,and B20.The analysistime,when using Procedure B(Accelerated D2887),is reducedto about 8 min.1.2 This test method is not to be used for the analysis ofgasoline samples or gasoline components.These types ofsamples must be analyzed by Test Method D7096.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.The values given in parentheses after SI units areprovided for information only and are not considered standard.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:3D86 Test Method for Distillation of Petroleum Products andLiquid Fuels at Atmospheric PressureD1160 Test Method for Distillation of Petroleum Products atReduced PressureD2892 Test Method for Distillation of Crude Petroleum(15-Theoretical Plate Column)D4057 Practice for Manual Sampling of Petroleum andPetroleum ProductsD4175 Terminology Relating to Petroleum Products,LiquidFuels,and LubricantsD4626 Practice for Calculation of Gas ChromatographicResponse FactorsD6299 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,1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM International CommitteeD02 on Petroleum Products,Liquid Fuels,and Lubricants and is the directresponsibility ofASTM Subcommittee D02.04.0H on Chromatographic DistributionMethods.The technically equivalent standard as referenced is under the jurisdicitonof the Energy Institute Subcommittee SC-G-6.Current edition approved Sept.1,2022.Published September 2022.Originallyapproved in 1973.Last previous edition approved in 2019 as D2887 19a2.DOI:10.1520/D2887-22.2This test method has been developed through the cooperative effort betweenASTM and the Energy Institute,London.ASTM and IP standards were approved byASTM and EI technical committees as being technically equivalent but that does notimply both standards are identical.3For 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.*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
