The flash poin of oil products is the temperature at which the vapor sample, when heated, flashes when the ingnition source is introduced, and mixes with air. Flash poin can be measured using open-cup and closed-cup method. The value obtained by the first method is always higher by several degrees. Determination of the flash point […]

Diesel fuel is classified by a variety of parameters that determine the quality and properties of fuel. A very important parameter is the limiting filterability temperature for diesel fuel and diesel fuel analogues. It determines the properties of fuel at low temperatures and affects the classification by seasonality: summer, winter, and arctic. What does the […]

One of the parameters for the classification of diesel fuel is the cetane number, which indicates the degree of its flammability. The qualitative indicator for gasoline is the octane number – determines the resistance of gasoline to detonation. Therefore, we can say that the cetane and octane number in diesel fuel and gasoline are inverse […]
