Foreword
This Standard is drafted in accordance with the rules specified in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This Standard replaces GB/T 6986-1986 Standard Test Method for Cloud Point of
Petroleum. Compared with GB/T 6986-1986, the main technical changes are as follows.
-- The title is changed into Standard Test Method for Cloud Point of Petroleum
Products;
-- Applicable scope is widened; add biodiesel and biodiesel fuel blend (see Chapter
1);
-- Add requirements for sample chroma, that is, the chroma shall be no more than
3.5; samples with chroma exceeding 3.5 can also be tested according to this
Standard, however, the precision is not applicable (see Chapter 1);
-- Add automatic method (see Chapter 1, 8, 9.2 and 10);
-- Add the explanation that the manual method means the arbitration method (see
Chapter 1);
-- Add “normative references” (see Chapter 2), “terms and definitions” (see Chapter
3); “method application” (see Chapter 5), and “report” (see Chapter 11);
-- Add the explanation that the humidity shall not be more than 75% during the
testing process (see 6.3);
-- Add GB-36, GB-37 and GB-38 temperature gauges that conform to the
requirements of GB/T 514 (see 7.1.1);
-- Requirements for test tube’s inner diameter and the volume at the scale mark are
different;
-- Description of casing tube is different;
-- Add the treatment process of sodium sulfate dehydrating agent (see 7.2.1), and
requirements and processing procedures of filter paper (see 7.2.2);
-- Cooling bath temperature control is slightly changed;
-- There are some changes in transition temperature of samples in cooling bath;
-- There are some changes in precision.
This Standard is redrafted by referring to ASTM D2500-11 Standard Test Method for Cloud
Point of Petroleum Products. Main technical differences between this Standard and ASTM
D2500-11 are as follows.
-- Add automatic method which is in accordance with ASTM D5771-12 Standard
Test Method for Cloud Point of Petroleum Products (Optical detection
classification cooling method) (see Chapter 1, 8, 9.2 and 10);
-- Change the reference standards into current national standards and industry
standards in China in the “normative references” (see Chapter 2);
-- Add corresponding terms and definitions (see Chapter 3.3, 3.5 and 3.6);
-- Add the explanation that the humidity shall not be more than 75% during the
testing process (see Chapter 6.3);
-- Add GB-36, GB-37 and GB-38 temperature gauges that conform to the
requirements of China’s GB/T 514 (see 7.1.1);
-- Add requirements for the volume at the test tube’s scale mark (see 7.1.2);
-- Add the specifications and requirements for reagent, material and cleaning
solvent (see 7.2 and 8.2);
-- Add the treatment process of sodium sulfate dehydrating agent (see 7.2.1), and
requirements and processing procedures of filter paper (see 7.2.2).
This Standard was proposed by National Technical Committee of Petroleum Products and
Lubricant Standardization (SAC/TC 280).

Standard Test Method for Cloud Point of
Petroleum Products
Warning. This Standard involves certain dangerous materials, operations and
equipment, however, it does not put forward suggestions on all safety problems
involved. Therefore, proper safety and protection measures shall be
established before the users apply this Standard in practice, and the
applicability of relevant rules and regulations shall be determined.
1. Scope
This Standard specifies two test methods, namely, manual and automatic methods, for
cloud point of petroleum products, biodiesel and biodiesel fuel blend. The manual method
is deemed as the arbitration method.
This Standard only applies to testing cloud point of petroleum products, biodiesel and
biodiesel fuel blend of which the cloud point is less than 49°C when it is transparent at the
thickness of 40 mm.
Note. Chroma of samples tested in accordance with this Standard shall be ≤3.5 (according to GB/T 6540);
samples with chroma exceeding 3.5 can also be tested according to this Standard, however, the
precision is not applicable.

documents so quoted, only dated versions apply to this document. For the undated
documents so quoted, the latest versions (including all modification sheets) apply to this

3. Terms and definitions
Following terms and definitions apply to this Standard.
3.1 Biodiesel
It is a kind of fuel derived from vegetable oil or animal fat, and it is composed of long-chain
fatty acid mono-alkyl ester, expressed by BD100.
Note. Typical biodiesel is a kind of monoester produced in the reaction BETWEEN
vegetable oil or animal fat AND alcohol (e.g. methyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol) by using
catalyst. The fuel may include up to 14 different fatty acids, and the fatty acid methyl ester
(FAME) that is transformed through chemical reactions.
