2、he year oforiginal 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.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the boiling
3、range distribution of fatty acid methyl esters(FAME).This testmethod is applicable to FAMES(biodiesel,B100)having aninitial boiling point greater than 100 C and a final boilingpoint less than 615 C at atmospheric pressure as measured bythis test method.1.2 The test method can also be applicable to b
4、lends ofdiesel and biodiesel(B1 through B100),however precision forthese samples types has not been evaluated.1.3 The test method is not applicable for analysis ofpetroleum containing low molecular weight components(forexample naphthas,reformates,gasolines,crude oils).1.4 Boiling range distributions
5、 obtained by this test methodare not equivalent to results from low efficiency distillationsuch as those obtained with Test Method D86 or D1160,especially the initial and final boiling points.1.5 This test method uses the principles of simulated distil-lation methodology.See Test Methods D2887,D6352
