VOLATILITY OF LPG: ASTM D1837
VOLATILITY OF LPG: ASTM D1837EXPLANATIONVolatility, expressed in terms of the 95 % evaporated temperature of the product, is a measure of the amount of least volatile components present in the product. Coupled with a vapor pressure limit, it serves to ensure essentially single-component products in the ...
