Record 1 2015-04-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Black Products (Petroleum)
DEF

A crude oil characterized by a high API gravity, a high yield of low-octane gasoline, and a high yield of lubricating oil having a high pour point and a high viscosity index, as compared with naphthene-base oils.

OBS

Popularly, and according to an early classification system, a paraffin-base oil is a crude oil containing little or no asphalt and whose residue from distillation contains paraffin wax.

OBS

paraffinic crude: term standardized by ISO.

Key term(s)
  • paraffin base petroleum
  • paraffin base crude

DEF

Pétrole riche en hydrocarbures de la série paraffinique et dont le résidu est paraffineux.

CONT

Record 2 2004-05-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Chemistry
  • Petrochemistry
  • Paints and Varnishes (Industries)
DEF

Temperature at which a fluid gives off sufficient vapor to cause it to ignite and to continue to burn in the presence of air when a small flame is applied under controlled conditions. [Definition standardized by ISO.]

CONT

flash point : The temperature at which a flash or flame is first observed when a small lighted flame is passed over a sample of a flammable substance in a cup. The flash point is an important test for fire and safety regulations. So also is the fire point, or temperature at which sustained burning first occurs. These tests are indicative of the lowest-boiling components in the oil and are applied to solvents, distillate fuels, lubricating oils, and many other petroleum products.

OBS

fire point: term standardized by ISO.

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
  • Chimie
  • Chimie du pétrole
  • Peintures et vernis (Industries)
DEF

Température à laquelle, dans certaines conditions, les vapeurs d'un combustible s'enflamment à l'approche d'une flamme et continuent à brûler au moins 5 secondes au contact de l'air.

OBS

Point de feu = point d'éclair + 10 à 20 °C.

OBS

Seul le terme «point de feu» se retrouve dans les normes ISO et AFNOR qui portent sur le sujet. (Par ex. : la norme ISO 2592 s'intitule : Produits pétroliers - Détermination des points d'éclair et de feu [...], et la norme AFNOR T60-118 s'intitule : Produits pétroliers. Point d'éclair et point de feu en vase ouvert des huiles et graisses industrielles).

OBS

point de feu : terme normalisé par l'ISO.
