Designation:D107811(Reapproved 2019)Designation:19598Standard Test Method forDistillation Range of Volatile Organic Liquids1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1078;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.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the distil-lation range of liquids boiling between 30 and 350 C,that arechemically stable during the distillation process,by manual orautomatic distillation procedures.1.2 This test method is applicable to organic liquids such ashydrocarbons,oxygenatedcompounds,chemicalintermediates,and blends thereof.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 For purposes of determining conformance of an ob-served or a calculated value using this test method to relevantspecifications,test result(s)shall be rounded off“to the nearestunit”in the last right-hand digit used in expressing thespecification limit,in accordance with the rounding-off methodof Practice E29.1.5 For hazard information and guidance,see the suppliersMaterial Safety Data Sheet.1.6 WarningMercury has been designated by EPA andmany state agencies as a hazardous material that can causecentral nervous system,kidney,and liver damage.Mercury,orits vapor,may be hazardous to health and corrosive tomaterials.Caution should be taken when handling mercury andmercury-containing products.See the applicable product Ma-terial Safety Data Sheet(MSDS)for details and EPAs website(http:/www.epa.gov/mercury/faq.htm)for additional informa-tion.Users should be aware that selling mercury or mercury-containing products,or both,in your state may be prohibited bystate law.1.7 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.Specific hazard statements are given in Section 7.1.8 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 PressureE1 Specification for ASTM Liquid-in-Glass ThermometersE29 Practice for Using Significant Digits in Test Data toDetermine Conformance with SpecificationsE133 Specification for Distillation EquipmentE299 Test Method for Trace Amounts of Peroxides InOrganic Solvents2.2 ASTM Adjuncts:Determination of Precision and Bias for Use in TestMethods for Petroleum Products and Lubricants33.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 decomposition point,nthe thermometer reading thatcoincides with the first indications of thermal decomposition ofthe liquid in the flask.3.1.2 dry point,nthe temperature indicated at the instantthe last drop of liquid evaporates from the lowest point in thedistillation flask,disregarding any liquid on the side of theflask.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paintand Related Coatings,Materials,and Applications and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D01.35 on Solvents,Plasticizers,and Chemical Intermediates.Current edition approved April 1,2019.Published April 2019.Originallyapproved in 1949.Last previous edition approved in 2011 as D1078 11.DOI:10.1520/D1078-11R19.2For 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.3Available from ASTM International Headquarters.Order Adjunct No.ADJD6300.Copyright 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 3.1.3 initial boiling point,nthe temperature indicated bythe distillation thermometer at the instant the first drop ofcondensate leaves the condenser tube.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 end point 5 minutes,nthe thermometer readingobtained 5 min after the 95%distillation point if no dry or fi
