The pour point of petroleum specimen is an index of the lowest temperature of its utility for certain applications.
Summary of Test Method: After preliminary heating, the sample is cooled at a specified rate and examined at intervals of 3 0C for flow characteristics. The lowest temperature at which movement of the specimen is observed is recorded as the pour point.
Requirements for pour point of heating fuels according to PN-C-96024 are:
- for light heating fuels : max. – 20 0C,
- for heavy heating fuels: max. + 40 0C.
