1.1This test method covers the quantitative determination of the carbon number distribution of petroleum waxes in the range from n-C17 through n-C 44 by gas chromatography using internal standardization. In addition, the content of normal and non-normal hydrocarbons for each carbon number is also determined. Material with a carbon number above n -C44 is determined by its difference from 100 mass % and reported as C45+.
1.2This test method is applicable to petroleum derived waxes, including blends of waxes. This test method is not applicable to oxygenated waxes, such as synthetic polyethylene glycols (for example, Carbowax2), or natural products such as beeswax or carnauba.
1.3This test method is not directly applicable to waxes with oil content greater than 10 % as determined by Test Method D721.
