Gasoline
The third of a series of three statements
War needs made prominent the question of a standard test for gasoline. On July
31st, 1918, President Wilson ordered a committee appointed under the United
States Fuel Administration to establish specifications and standards of test for gas
. oline supplied to the Government. This committee consisted of the United States
Fuel Administration and representatives of ;hs War find Navy Departments, tlie
United States Shipping. Board, the ).': :-.:: : t- '.'encral of .R;:;k-ri.;;.;.;, the Bureau of

The Gravity Test Discarded
1 The Government's Committee on Standardi
zation of Petroleum Specifications stated in itu
' report: "It will be noted that there are no grav
ity limitations in the specifications or aviation
gasoline, nor in the - specifications for motor
fasoline which are given later, for it has been
lound that gravity is of little or no value in de
termining the quality of gasoline." The stand
ards adopted by the United States Government
arc based on boiling points.
I Boiling Points the Real Test
Gasoline is known to the refiner as one mem
ber of the petroleum family. He distinguishes
each member of the family, not by gravity, but
by boiling points. Gravity is a fleeting stand
ard of test, but boiling points are unchanging
in their value and always determine the quality '
ot the product. Knowing them th: refiner can
keep his product uniform and reliable.
. What Is a Boiling Point?
' A boiling point is the temperature at which
a liquid will begin to boil or vaporise.
In distilling a given quantity of gasoline the
refiner ascertains at what point each 10 per
cent will boil, until the entire quantity is evap
orated or distilled. Iri this way he d!termine3
.what is known as the initial boiling point, as
well as all intervening boiling points in the
chain, up to the maximum, high boiling point.
Boiling Points Tell the' Story
Boiling points' determine the vaporizing and
lombustive qualities of gasoline: They decide
the action of the gas developed from gasoline.
Thy are the only true measure of gasoline
talue.' .
An ideal gasoline has boiling points in a con
tinuous, uniform chain. There must not be too
tna.iy low boiling points, otherwise the loss in
storage by ev.-pdr?.;:on would be great. There
must bo jt"it eiu.'.i ,h low boiling points to va
porize freely and give easy starting. The higher
boiling points -are necessary for quick accelera
tion, high power and long mileage.
As combustion starts with the lowest boiling
points and flashes on through the gas, the con
tinuous chain of boiling points from the low
to the high is necessary for instantaneous,
full-powered combustion, Only U straight-distilled,
all-refinery gasoline can have the contin
uous, uniform chain of boiling points.
The United States Government
Standard Specifications
for Gasoline .
The United States Government standard
specifications for gasoline are based on boiling
points not gravity. Drafted as they were by
impartial Government experts, they are gener
ally considered, In the light Of conditions today,
as the most practical standard for gasoline.
They insure an efficient and satisfactory gaso
line and at the same time have due regard for
the best utilization of our petroleum resources-,
and the maintenance of reasonable prices to the
consumer.
