ASTM D7213 Introduction
ASTM D7213 is an important test method that employs the technique of gas chromatography to assess the quality and durability of petroleum products within the specified boiling range. In this method, the petroleum products are analyzed based on the boiling points of their components. The information aids in the characterization of product composition and assessing its performance properties. ASTM D7213 is used for reliability checks, performance evaluation, and specification purposes.

Apparatus Setup
The ASTM D7213 method involves inserting the petroleum sample in the gas chromatograph and vaporizing it. The sample passes through the column and separates into individual components based on their boiling points.
Measurement of Boiling Range
The detector records the split of components and represents the boiling range distribution of the sample on a chromatogram. The amount of each component is quantified within the specified boiling range.
D7213 Equipment and Sample Preparation
Specimen Details
The ASTM D7213 specimens used are petroleum distillates such as crude oil.
Specimen dimensions
The acceptable specimen size varies with the testing requirements.
Specimen Preparation
The ASTM D7213 specimens are conditioned and stored as per requirements.
D7213 Results and Interpretation
The results obtained from the ASTM D7213 test method allow for the identification and quantification of individual hydrocarbons present in the sample. They also assess product quality, suitability, and consistency for various applications. The findings aid in quality control, performance evaluation, and research.
Tests Related to ASTM D7213
ASTM D7213 is similar to other standard methods, such as ASTM D2887 and D86, which are used for stimulating the distillation of crude oil and petroleum fractions,, respectively.
Use of D7213 in Various Industries
It is an important test in the petroleum and petrochemical industries for analyzing the boiling range distribution of petroleum distillates and products, aiding in product specification, quality control, refinery process optimization, and environmental compliance compliance.
Materials Commonly Tested with D7213
This method is widely used for analysis of petroleum distillates, specialty products, lubricating base stocks, and synthetic hydrocarbons, as well as lubricating base stocks, because its method is adaptable to the complex mixtures.
Common Challenges and Troubleshooting in D7213 Testing
Testing could pose a problem with sample contamination, gas chromatograph calibration, and injection inconsistencies, the boiling range distribution profile is unduly affected. This troubleshooting would involve careful cleaning, recalibration of equipment, and uniform sample handling and injection techniques.
Safety and Best Practices in D7213 Testing
Safety requirements for handling volatile and flammable petroleum distillates are very strict in testing. Operators should use PPE, work in well-ventilated areas, and adhere to chemical and compressed gas guidelines. Regular maintenance is an assurance of reliable testing.
Importance of D7213
The standard is important to characterize the boiling range distribution of petroleum products, establishing usability and industry standards, optimizing refining processes, maintaining product consistency, and adhering to regulatory and customer specifications. It is considered a core in petroleum testing methodologies.
