Calibration Standards
for ASTMMethod D2887-01,
Boiling Range Distribution
of PetroleumProducts
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM International) Method D2887-01,
Standard Test Method for Boiling Range Distribution of Petroleum Fractions by Gas
Chromatography,
describes the determination of the boiling range distribution of petrole-
um products. This test method is applicable to petroleum products and fractions having a
final boiling point of 538°C (1000°F) or lower; and is limited to samples having a boiling
range greater than 55°C (100°F) and having a vapor pressure sufficiently low to permit
sampling at ambient temperature.
To facilitate the ASTM International guideline and help petroleum analytical laboratories in
determiningpetroleumproduct boiling range applications, Restekhas introduced two chemical
standardsdesignedspecificallyforASTMMethodD2887-01.Thefirstmixture ispreparedat1%
w/w in carbon disulfide for convenient laboratory use. This standardmay only be shipped by
ground shipment within theUS. The secondmixture is a blend of neat hydrocarbons to allow
overnight shipments in theUS and shipments toour international customers.
This method is not to be used for the analysis of gasoline samples or gasoline range
petroleum products. These types of samples must be analyzed by ASTM Method
D3710-95. Restek offers a calibrationmixture forASTMD-3710-95. (cat.# 31223, single
ampul, and cat.# 31323, 10-packwith data pack)
In addition, Restek offers chemical standards for other ASTM Methods: D6352-98
(Polywax
®
); E1387-95 and E1618-97 (fire debris); and D-4059-96 (PCBs in transformer
oil). Restek also makes custom chemical standard solutions for a wide variety of ASTM
Methods— see the reverse side of this
