Calibration

The instrument was calibrated as described in the manufacturer's instructions.

Calibration date 22 October 2008

Reference item

Certified Reference Material PAC GmbH lot No 1032

(Pour point = -23.6 ± 0.4 °C)

Sample volume

Per replicate approx. 40 mL of the test item was used.

Executive summary:

The pour point was measured according to ASTM 97 -02. The pour point was determined to be - 50°C at atmospheric pressure.
