2、riginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers an automated procedure involv-ing titratio
3、n and optical detection of precipitated asphaltenesfor determining the stability and compatibility parameters ofrefinery residual streams,residual fuel oils,and crude oils.Stability in this context is the ability to maintain asphaltenes ina peptized or dissolved state and not undergo flocculation or
4、precipitation.Similarly,compatibility relates to the property ofmixing two or more oils without precipitation or flocculation ofasphaltenes.1.2 This test method is applicable to residual products fromatmospheric and vacuum distillation,from thermal,catalytic,and hydrocracking processes,to products t
