Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent

Introduction
The distillation (volatility) characteristics of hydrocarbons have an important effect on their safety and
performance, especially in the case of fuels and solvents. The boiling range gives important information on
composition and behaviour during storage and use, and the rate of evaporation is an important factor in the
application of many solvents. Limiting values to specified distillation characteristics are applied to most
distillate petroleum product specifications in order to control end-use performance and to regulate the
formation of vapours which may form explosive mixtures with air or otherwise escape into the atmosphere as
emissions (volatile organic compounds or VOCs).

Petroleum products — Determination of distillation
characteristics at atmospheric pressure
WARNING — The use of this International Standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and
equipment. This International Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this International Standard to establish
appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a laboratory test method, utilizing either manual or automated equipment,
for determining the distillation characteristics of light and middle distillates derived from petroleum and having
initial boiling points above 0 °C and end points below approximately 400 °C.
Light distillates are typically automotive engine petrols, automotive engine petrols with up to 10 % (V/V)
ethanol and aviation petrols. Middle distillates are aviation turbine fuels, kerosenes, diesel, diesel with up to
20 % (V/V) FAME (fatty acid methylesters), burner fuels and marine fuels that have no appreciable quantities
of residua.
NOTE For the purposes of this International Standard, “% (V/V)” is used to represent the volume fraction of a material.

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

SIST EN ISO 3405:2011
ISO 3405:2011(E)
3.2
dry point
thermometer reading (corrected) that is observed at the instant the last drop of liquid evaporates from the
lowest point in the flask, any drops or film of liquid on the side of the flask or on the thermometer being
disregarded
NOTE The end point (final boiling point), rather than the dry point, is intended for general use. The dry point can be
reported in connection with special purpose naphthas, such as those used in the paint industry. It is substituted for the
end point (final boiling point) whenever the sample is of such a nature that the precision of the end point cannot
consistently meet the precision requirements given in Clause 13 or 14.
3.3
end point
final boiling point
maximum thermometer reading (corrected) obtained during the test
NOTE This usually occurs after evaporation of all liquid from the bottom of the flask.
3.4
initial boiling point
thermometer reading (corrected) that is observed at the instant the first drop of condensate falls from the
lower end of the condenser tube
3.5
percent evaporated
sum of the percent recovered and the percent loss
3.6
percent loss
front-end loss
amount of uncondensed material lost in the initial stages of the distillation, equal to 100 % minus the total
recovery
3.7
corrected loss
percent loss corrected for barometric pressure
3.8
percent recovered
volume of condensate observed in the receiving cylinder at any point in the distillation in connection with a
simultaneous temperature reading
NOTE It is expressed as a percentage of the charge volume.
3.9
percent recovery
maximum percent recovered, as observed in accordance with this International Standard
NOTE See 9.10.
3.10
percent residue
volume of residue measured in accordance with this International Standard
NOTE 1 See 9.11.
NOTE 2 It is expressed as a percentage of the charge volume.

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------

SIST EN ISO 3405:2011
ISO 3405:2011(E)
3.11
percent total recovery
combined percent recovery and residue in the flask, as determined in accordance with this International
Standard
NOTE See 10.1.
3.12
thermometer reading
temperature recorded by the sensor of the saturated vapour, measured in the neck of the flask below the
vapour tube and under the specified conditions of this test
3.13
temperature reading
thermometer reading or other temperature measurement device reading which is corrected to 101,3 kPa
barometric pressure
3.14
emergent-stem effect
offset in temperature reading caused by the use of a total immersion mercury-in-glass thermometer in the
partial immersion mode
NOTE The emergent part of the mercury column is at a lower temperature than the immersed portion, resulting in a
lower temperature reading than that obtained with the thermometer completely immersed for calibration.
3.15
temperature lag
offset in temperature reading between a mercury-in-glass thermometer and an electronic temperature-
measurement device, caused by the different response times of the systems involved
4 Principle
The sample is assigned to one of four groups, based on its composition and expected volatility characteristics,
with each group defining the apparatus arrangement, condenser temperature and operational variables. A
100 ml test portion is distilled under the specified conditions appropriate to the group into which the sample
falls, and systematic observations of thermometer readings and volumes of condensate recovered are made.
The volume of the residue in the flask is measured, and the loss on distillation recorded. The thermometer
readings are corrected for barometric pressure and the data are then used for calculations appropriate to the
nature of the sample and the specification requirements.
5 Apparatus
5.1 General
Typical assemblies of the manual apparatus are shown in Figures 1 and 2. In addition to the basic
components described in this clause, automated apparatus also are equipped with a system for measuring
and automatically recording the vapour temperature and the associated recovered volume in the receiving
cylinder.
Automated equipment manufactured in or after the year 1999 shall be equipped with a device for
automatically shutting down power to the unit and for spraying an inert gas or vapour in the chamber where
the distillation flask is mounted in the event of fire.
NOTE Some causes of fire are breakage of the distillation flask, electrical shorts, and foaming and spilling of liquid
sample through the top opening of the flask.

5.2 Distillation flasks
The distillation flasks shall have a capacity of 125 ml and be constructed of heat-resistant glass, according to
the dimensions and tolerances shown in Figure 3.
NOTE For tests specifying the dry point, specially selected flasks with bottoms and walls of uniform thickness are
desirable.
5.3 Condenser tube and cooling bath
5.3.1 Typical types of condenser and cooling bath are illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. Other types of
apparatus may be used, provided that the test results obtained by their use are such as to correlate with the
results obtained with those illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 and to satisfy the precision criteria given in Clause 13
or 14.
5.3.2 The condenser shall be made of seamless non-corrosive metal tubing, 560 mm ± 5 mm in length, with
an outside diameter of 14 mm and a wall thickness of 0,8 mm to 0,9 mm.
NOTE Brass or stainless steel are suitable materials.
5.3.3 The condenser shall be set so that a length of 393 mm ± 3 mm of the tube is in contact with the
cooling medium, with 50 mm ± 3 mm outside the cooling bath at the upper end, and 114 mm ± 3 mm outside
at the lower end. The portion of tube projecting at the upper end shall be set at an angle of 75° to the vertical.
The portion of the tube inside the cooling bath shall be either straight or bent in any suitable continuous
smooth curve. The average gradient shall be 15° ± 1° with respect to the horizontal, and no 100 mm section
shall have a gradient outside the range of 15° ± 3°. The projecting lower portion of the condenser tube shall
be curved downward for a length of 76 mm and the lower end cut off at an acute angle. Provisions shall be
made to enable the flow of distillate to run down the side of the receiving cylinder. Figure 4 gives an illustration
of the lower end of the condenser tube.
The flow of distillate down the side of the graduated cylinder may be accomplished either by using a drip
deflector inserted in the receiver, or by having the downward length of the condenser tube curve slightly
backwards so as to ensure contact with the wall of the receiving cylinder at a point 25 mm to 32 mm below the
top of the receiving cylinder when it is in position to receive distillate.
5.3.4 The volume and design of the cooling bath will depend on the cooling medium employed. The cooling
capacity of the bath shall be adequate to maintain the required temperature for the desired condenser
performance. A single cooling bath may be used for several condenser tubes.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 3405 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 28, Petroleum products and lubricants.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 3405:2000), of which has been technically

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 3405

Petroleum products — Determination of distillation
characteristics at atmospheric pressure
WARNING — The use of this International Standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and
equipment. This International Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this International Standard to establish
appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a laboratory method for the determination of the distillation
characteristics of light and middle distillates derived from petroleum with initial boiling points above 0 °C and
end-points below approximately 400 °C, utilizing either manual or automated equipment. Light distillates are
typically; automotive engine petrols, automotive engine petrols with up to 10% (V/V) ethanol, and aviation
petrols. Middle distillates are typically; aviation turbine fuels, kerosines, diesel, diesel with up to 20% (V/V)
FAME, burner fuels, and marine fuels that have no appreciable quantities of residua.
NOTE 1 For the purposes of this International Standard, the term “% (V/V)” is used to represent the volume fraction of
a material.
NOTE 2 The method is applicable to petroleum products incorporating a minor constitution of components from non-
petroleum origin, but the precision data may not apply in all cases.
The distillation (volatility) characteristics of hydrocarbons have an important effect on their safety and
performance, especially in the case of fuels and solvents. The boiling range gives important information on
composition and behaviour during storage and use, and the rate of evaporation is an important factor in the
application of many solvents. Limiting values to specified distillation characteristics are applied to most
distillate petroleum product specifications in order to control end-use performance and to regulate the
formation of vapours which may form explosive mixtures with air, or otherwise escape into the atmosphere as
emissions (VOC).

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
decomposition point
thermometer reading (corrected) which coincides with the first indications of thermal decomposition of the
liquid in the flask
NOTE Characteristic indications of thermal decomposition are an evolution of fumes and erratic thermometer
readings which usually show a decided decrease after any attempt has been made to adjust the heat.
3.2
dry point
thermometer reading (corrected) that is observed at the instant the last drop of liquid evaporates from the
lowest point in the flask; any drops or film of liquid on the side of the flask or on the thermometer are
disregarded
NOTE The end-point (final boiling point), rather than the dry point is intended for general use. The dry point can be
reported in connection with special purpose naphthas, such as those used in the paint industry. Also, it is substituted for
the end-point (final boiling point) whenever the sample is of such a nature that the precision of the end-point cannot
consistently meet the requirements given in Clause 12.
3.3
end-point
final boiling point
maximum thermometer reading (corrected) obtained during the test
NOTE This usually occurs after evaporation of all liquid from the bottom of the flask.
3.4
initial boiling point
thermometer reading (corrected) that is observed at the instant that the first drop of condensate falls from the
lower end of the condenser tube
3.5
percent evaporated
sum of the percent recovered and the percent loss
3.6
percent loss
100 minus the total recovery
NOTE Sometimes called “front-end loss”; this is the amount of uncondensed material lost in the initial stages of the
distillation.
3.7
corrected loss
percent loss corrected for barometric pressure
3.8
percent recovered
volume of condensate observed in the receiving graduated cylinder at any point in the distillation, expressed
as a percentage of the charge volume, in connection with a simultaneous temperature reading
3.9
percent recovery
maximum percent recovered, as observed in accordance with 9.10

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
oSIST prEN ISO 3405:2009
ISO/DIS 3405
3.10
percent residue
volume of residue measured in accordance with 9.11, and expressed as a percentage of the charge volume
3.11
percent total recovery
combined percent recovery and residue in the flask, as determined in accordance with 10.1
3.12
thermometer reading
temperature recorded by the sensor of the saturated vapour measured in the neck of the flask below the
vapour tube, under the specified conditions of this test
3.13
temperature reading
thermometer or temperature-measurement device reading (3.12) which is corrected to 101,3 kPa barometric
pressure
3.14
emergent stem effect
offset in temperature reading caused by the use of a total immersion mercury-in-glass thermometer in the
partial immersion mode
NOTE The emergent part of the mercury column is at a lower temperature than the immersed portion, resulting in a
lower temperature reading than that obtained when the thermometer was completely immersed for calibration.
3.15
temperature lag
offset in temperature reading between a mercury-in-glass thermometer and an electronic temperature-
measurement device, caused by the different response time of the systems involved
4 Principle
The sample is assigned into one of four groups based on its composition and expected volatility
characteristics, each group defining the apparatus arrangement, condenser temperature and operational
variables. A 100 ml test portion is distilled under the specified conditions appropriate to the group into which
the sample falls, and systematic observations of thermometer readings and volumes of condensate recovered
are made. The volume of the residue in the flask is measured, and the loss on distillation recorded. The
thermometer readings are corrected for barometric pressure, and the data are then used for calculations
appropriate to the nature of the sample and the specification requirements.
5 Apparatus
5.1 General
Typical assemblies of the manual apparatus are shown in Figures 1 and 2. In addition to the basic
components described in Clause 5, automated apparatus also are equipped with a system to measure and
automatically record the vapour temperature and the associated recovered volume in the receiving cylinder.
Automated equipment manufactured in 1999 and later shall be equipped with a device to automatically shut
down power to the unit and to spray an inert gas or vapor in the chamber where the distillation flask is
mounted in the event of fire.
NOTE Some causes of fires are breakage of the distillation flask, electrical shorts, and foaming and spilling of liquid
sample through the top opening of the flask.

5.2 Distillation flasks
The distillation flasks shall have a capacity of 125 ml and be constructed of heat-resistant glass, according to
the dimensions and tolerances shown in Figure 3.
NOTE For tests specifying the dry point, especially selected flasks with bottoms and walls of uniform thickness are
desirable.
5.3 Condenser tube and cooling bath
Typical types of condenser and cooling bath are illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.
NOTE Other types of apparatus may be used, provided that the test results obtained by their use are such as to
correlate with the results obtained with those illustrated, and to satisfy the precision criteria given in Clause 12.
5.3.1 The condenser shall be made of seamless non-corrosive metal tubing, 560 mm ± 5 mm in length, with
an outside diameter of 14 mm and a wall thickness of 0,8 mm to 0,9 mm.
NOTE Brass or stainless steel are suitable materials.
5.3.2 The condenser shall be set so that 393 mm ± 3 mm of the tube is in contact with the cooling medium,
with 50 mm ± 3 mm outside the cooling bath at the upper end, and 114 mm ± 3 mm outside at the lower end.
The portion of tube projecting at the upper end shall be set at an angle of 75 ° to the vertical. The portion of
the tube inside the cooling bath shall be either straight or bent in any suitable continuous smooth curve. The
average gradient shall be 15° ± 1° with respect to the horizontal, and no 100 mm section shall have a gradient
outside a 15° ± 3° range. The projecting lower portion of the condenser tube shall be curved downward for a
length of 76 mm and the lower end cut off at an acute angle. Provisions shall be made to enable the flow of
distillate to run down the side of the receiving graduated cylinder. Figure 4 gives an illustration of the lower
end of the condenser tube.
The flow of distillate down the side of the graduated cylinder may be accomplished either by using a drip-
deflector which is inserted in the receiver, or by having the downward length of the condenser tube curve
slightly backwards so as to ensure contact with the wall of the graduated cylinder at a point 25 mm to 32 mm
below the top of the graduated cylinder when it is in position to receive distillate.

5.3.3 The volume and design of the cooling bath will depend on the cooling medium employed. The cooling
capacity of the bath shall be adequate to maintain the required temperature for the desired condenser
performance. A single cooling bath may be used for several condenser tubes.
5.4 Metal shield or enclosure for flask (manual apparatus only)
Shields shall be provided to protect the operator from damage from the unit during operation, and to protect
the distillation flask from draughts. They shall allow easy access to the distillation during operation, and be
provided with at least one window to observe the dry point at the end of the distillation.
NOTE 1 A typical shield for a unit fitted with a gas burner would be 400 mm high, 280 mm long and 200 mm wide,
made of sheet metal approximately 0,8 mm in thickness (see Figure 1).
NOTE 2 A typical shield for a unit fitted with an electric heater would be 440 mm high, 200 mm long and 200 mm wide,
made of sheet metal approximately 0,8 mm in thickness (see Figure 2).
5.5 Heat source
5.5.1 Gas burner (see Figure 1), capable of bringing over the first drop from a cold start within the time
specified, and continuing the distillation at the specified rate. A sensitive regulating valve and gas pressure
governor to give complete control of heating shall be provided.
5.5.2 Electric heater (see Figure 2), of low heat retention and adjustable from 0 W to 1 000 W.
5.6 Flask-support
5.6.1 Type 1 for use with gas burner (see Figure 1). Either a ring support of the ordinary laboratory type,
100 mm or larger in diameter, supported on a stand inside the shield, or a platform adjustable from the outside
of the shield shall be used.
The flask support board shall be constructed of ceramic or other heat-resistant material, 3 to 6 mm in
thickness and shall have a central opening conforming to the dimensions given in Table 2. The flask support
board shall be of sufficient dimension to ensure that thermal heat to the flask only comes from the central
opening and that extraneous heat to the flask other than through the central opening is minimized. The flask-
support board may be moved slightly in accordance with the directions for positioning the distillation flask so
that direct heat is applied to the flask only through the opening in this board. The position of the flask is set by
adjusting the length of the side-arm inserted into the condenser.
5.6.2 Type 2 for use with an electric heater (see Figure 2). The flask-support is a platform on top of the
electric heater and adjustable from the outside of the shield. The flask support board described in 5.6.1 is
mounted on this support. Provision shall be made for moving the upper (flask-support) board slightly in the
horizontal plane to ensure that direct heat is applied only through the specified opening in this board. The
flask-support assembly shall be able to move vertically to ensure contact of the flask-support board with the
bottom of the distillation flask during the distillation, and to allow for easy mounting and removal of the
distillation flask from the unit.
5.7 Graduated cylinders
5.7.1 Receiving cylinder, of 100 ml capacity, generally in accordance with ISO 4788. It shall be graduated at
intervals of 1 ml beginning at least at the 5 ml mark and have a graduation at the 100 ml mark. The shape of
the base shall be such that the receiver does not topple when placed empty on a surface inclined at an angle
of 13° to the horizontal. Construction details and tolerances for the graduated cylinder are shown in Figure 5.
For automated apparatus, the cylinder shall conform to the physical specifications described in this subclause,
with the exception of all graduations but that at 100 ml. Graduated cylinders for use in automated units may
also have a metal base.
