The test is performed by placing 300 mL of biodiesel in a 500-mL glass bottle. The sample is then set in a liquid or air bath or chamber at 40 °F for 16 hours. The sample is then allowed to come to room temperature (around 70 °F) and filtered through a 47-mm diameter and 0.7-μm nominal pore-sized glass fiber filter under vacuum of 25 inches of mercury under atmospheric pressure.

La wintérisation est un terme technique, qui signifie filtration à froid des huiles. L'objectif de la wintérisation est principalement de rendre une huile limpide en éliminant les cires ou graisses qu'elle contient naturellement. L'huile est refroidie lentement pour obtenir une cristallisation homogène des cires ou graisses, elle est ensuite filtrée à travers des toiles qui retiennent ces cires ou graisses. L'efficacité d'une wintérisation est mesurée par l'un des tests suivants : test au froid, point de trouble, point de congélation, point de fusion ou point d'écoulement. 2, record 5, French, - test%20au%20froid
