ASTM D7171-16 + Redline

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the hydrogen content of middle distillate petroleum products using a low-resolution pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. The boiling range of distillates covered by the test method is 150 °C to 390 °C. While this test method may be applicable to middle distillates outside this boiling range, in such cases the precision statements may not apply. The test method is generally based on Test Methods D3701 and D4808, with a major difference being the use of a pulsed NMR spectrometer instead of a continuous wave NMR spectrometer.
