Abstract

This article proposes a scheme, based on physiochemical, service-related, and technical properties, that can be used to classify practically all properties of petroleum products intended for any end use. Explains that physiochemical properties include density, viscosity, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, surface tension, electrical conductivity, dielectric constant, elemental composition, distillation curve, and hydrocarbon group composition. Service-related properties include all properties of the product that ensure reliability and economy in the operation of engines, vehicles, and mechanisms. The technical properties of petroleum products are manifested in storage and transportation. Concludes that the proposed classification of petroleum product properties and quality evaluation methods will contribute to the future introduction of a combined system of petroleum product quality control.
