Title
Standard Test Method for Pour Point of Petroleum Products
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Dec 1, 2007
Scope:
This test method covers and is intended for use on any petroleum
product.2 A procedure suitable for black specimens,
cylinder stock, and nondistillate fuel oil is described in 8.8. A
procedure for testing the fluidity of a residual fuel oil at a
specified temperature is described in Appendix X1. The cloud point
procedure formerly part of this test method now appears as Test
Method D 2500.
Currently there is no ASTM test method for automated Test Method
D 97 pour point measurements.
Several ASTM test methods offering alternative procedures for
determining pour points using automatic apparatus are available.
None of them share the same designation number as Test Method D 97.
When an automatic instrument is used, the ASTM test method
designation number specific to the technique shall be reported with
the results. A procedure for testing the pour point of crude oils
is described in Test Method D 5853.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
2 Statements defining this test and its significance
when applied to electrical insulating oils of mineral origin will
