ASTM D2887

Boiling range
distributions obtained
by this test method are
essentially equivalent
to those obtained by
true boiling point (TBP)
distillation.

Input the data as TBP

Mass Basis (See more
details in Section 1).

In Petroleum assay
manager, settings
button select D2887
option as "Use TBP
Mass % Curve". (See
More details in Section
1)

ASTM D3710

This test method covers

the determination of
the boiling range
distribution of gasoline
and gasoline
components. This test
method is applicable to
petroleum products and
fractions with a final
boiling point of 500F
(260C) or lowers as
measured by this test
method.

Input the data as TBP

Mass Basis.

Input the data as TBP

Mass Basis.

ASTM D7096-05

This test method covers

the determination of
the boiling range
distribution of gasoline
and liquid gasoline
blending components.
The distillation data
produced by this test
method are similar to
that which would be
obtained from a
cryogenic, true boiling
point (15 theoretical
plates) distillation.

Input the data as TBP

(with same composition
basis as ASTM D7096
composition basis)

(with same composition
basis as ASTM D7096
composition basis)

ASTM D7169

This test method

extends the
applicability of
simulated distillation to
samples that do not
elute completely from
the chromatographic
system. This test
method is used to
determine the boiling
point distribution
through a temperature
of 720C. This
temperature
corresponds to the
elution of n-C100.
