Flow-X General functions - fxASTM_D1555_Ctl
fxASTM_D1555_Ctl
Description
This function calculates the Ctl value from the observed temperature for several aromatic
hydrocarbons and cyclohexane based on the ASTM Designation 1555
Compliance
ASTM Designation: D1555 -04, Standard Test Method for Calculation of Volume and Weight
of Industrial Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Cyclohexane
Boundaries
The standard defines an upper limit for the temperature of 150°F for p-xylene and 140°F for all other
products.
