ASTM D2425-19 + Redline

1.1 This test method covers an analytical scheme using the mass spectrometer to determine the hydrocarbon types present in conventional and synthesized hydrocarbons that have a boiling range of 160 °C to 343 °C (320 °F to 650 °F), 5 % to 95 % by volume as determined by Test Method D86. Samples with average carbon number value of paraffins between C₁₂ and C₁₆ and containing paraffins from C₁₀ and C₁₈ can be analyzed. This test method is intended for use with full boiling range products that contain no significant olefin content. Eleven hydrocarbon types are determined. These include: paraffins, noncondensed cycloparaffins, condensed dicycloparaffins, condensed tricycloparaffins, alkylbenzenes, indans or tetralins, or both, C_nH _2n-10 (indenes, etc.), naphthalenes, C_nH_2n-14 (acenaphthenes, etc.), C_nH _2n-16 (acenaphthylenes, etc.), and tricyclic aromatics.
