In the case of an oil (or any other liquid), it is a temperature 5°F above that temperature at which the oil is solid. The lowest temperature at which an oil will flow.
Is the temperature at which oil begins to flow under prescribed conditions. ( 010)
A measure of the ability of a diesel fuel to operate under cold weather conditions. Defined as the temperature at which the amount of wax out of solution is sufficient to gel the fuel when tested under standard conditions (ASTM D97).
Lowest temperature at which a fluid will flow.
the temperature at which a liquid either congeals or ceases to flow.
lowest temperature at which an oil or distillate fuel will flow, when cooled under conditions prescribed by specific test methods. The pour point is 3° C (5° F) above the temperature at which the oil in a test vessel shows no movement when the container is held horizontally for five seconds.
lowest temperature at which an oil or distillate fuel is observed to flow.
An indicator of the ability of an oil or distillate fuel to flow at cool operating temperatures. It is the lowest temperature at which the fluid will flow when cooled under prescribed conditions.
The ability of crude oil to flow at low temperatures.(no entries so far)
Lowest temperature at which a liquid will pour or flow when chilled without disturbance under specified conditions.
The lowest temperature at which a liquid will flow or pour
The temperature where a hydrocarbon mixture becomes too thick to flow. The industry uses this property to assure that gasoil will fuel furnaces and diesel engines properly during cold weather. In particularly harsh climates, pour point indicates how warm to keep distillate by artificial means. The trade also quotes pour points for residue and crude. In these cases, the specification indicated whether the oil needs heating for proper handling and storage.
The temperature at witch oil will not change is the container is tilted.
When diesel fuel is cooled, wax crystals agglomerate and cause the fuel to solidify. The pour point is defined as the temperature 5° F above the point at which the oil stops flowing
The lowest temperature at which oil will pour.
The temperature at which the fuel is no longer pumpable.
The temperature at which a crude oil or refined product such as residual fuel flows. Some crude oil grades and residual fuels must be heated in order to remain liquid, which is expressed as a high pour point, meaning that they can be difficult to handle and may require heated storage or tankers.
The pour point of a liquid is the lowest temperature at which it will pour or flow under prescribed conditions. It is a rough indication of the lowest temperature at which oil is readily pumpable.
