I. INTRODUCTION
Cloud point is where the temperature in which the wax in petroleum forms a wax
crystals. The formation of wax is caused by the temperature in which the petroleum product
is exposed to. In lower or cold temperatures, it is more expected that there will be a wax
formation.
There are two ways to measure the cloud point of petroleum products, namely the
“Manual Method”, and the “Automatic Method”. The two methods were from ASTM or
the American Society for Testing and Materials.
