Standard Test Method ASTM D1160

Distillation of Petroleum Products at Reduced Pressure

This test method covers the determination, at reduced pressures, of the range of boiling points for petroleum products and biodiesel that can be partially or completely vaporized at a maximum liquid temperature of 400 °C. Both a manual method and an automatic method are specified.

Summary of Test Method

The sample is distilled at an accurately controlled pressure between 0.13 kPa and 6.7 kPa (1 mm – 50 mm Hg) under conditions that are designed to provide approximately one theoretical plate fractionation. Data are obtained from which the initial boiling point, the final boiling point, and a distillation curve relating volume percent distilled and atmospheric equivalent boiling point temperature can be prepared.
