Principle

King Cloud & Pour Point Bath: The King Cloud &
Pour Point Bath measures the low temperature cloud point and pour point of petroleum
products—an index of the lowest temperature of its utility for certain applications. There are
currently no ASTM methods for automated D97 Pour Point measurements. The CP610
offers the manual testing technique and a self-contained refrigeration system with ramp/
soak temperature programming ability. This standard King instrument is a cost effective and
user friendly alternative to expensive automated devices.
ASTM D97
Pour Point
History
ASTM D2500
The D97 Pour Point method was originally approved by ASTM in 1927 and is still used today Cloud Point
as the manual technique for pour point testing. After preliminary heating, the sample is
cooled at a specified rate and examined at intervals of 3°C for flow characteristics. The low- ASTM D5853
est temperature at which movement of the sample is observed is recorded as the pour Pour Point of Crude Oils
point.
The Cloud Point (D2500) test method for petroleum products and biodiesel fuels was Additional
originally approved in 1966. The cloud point is the temperature of a liquid sample when the International
smallest observable cluster of hydrocarbon crystals first appears at the bottom of the test Specifications:
jar when cooled under prescribed conditions and examined periodically. The intent of the
cloud point is to capture the temperature at which the liquids in the sample begin to IP 15
change from a single liquid phase to a two-phase system containing solid and liquid. IP 219
