O n July 31st, 1918, P resid en t W ilson ord ered a co m m ittee ap pointed u n d er th e U nited S ta te s Fuel A d m in istratio n to estab lish specifications an d s ta n d a rd s of te st for g as oline supplied to th e G overnm ent. T h is co m m ittee consisted of the U n ited S tates Fuel A d m in istratio n and re p resen tativ es of th e W a r and N avy D ep artm en ts, the U n ited S ta te s Shipping B oard, th e D ire c to r G eneral of R ailroads, th e B ureau of M ines, an d th e B ureau of S tan d ard s. S ta n d a rd s w ere adopted for av iatio n gasoline (e x p o rt, fighting and dom estic) and fo r g en eral m o to r use on land an d sea. The Gravity Test Discarded The Government’s Committee on Standardi zation of Petroleum Specifications stated in its report : “It will be noted that there are no grav ity lim itations in the specifications for aviation gasoline, nor in the specifications for motor gasoline which are given later, for it has been found that gravity is of little or no value in de term ining the quality of gasoline.” The stand ards adopted by the United States Government are based on boiling pointe. Boiling Points the Real l est 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 of the product. Knowing them the refiner can keep his product uniform and reliable. What Is a Boiling Point? A boiling point is the tem perature at which a liquid will begin to boil or vaporize. 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. In this way he determines w hat 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 combustive qualities of gasoline. They decide the action of the gas developed from gasoline. They are the only true measure of gasoline value. An ideal gasoline has boiling points in a con tinuous, uniform chain. There must not be too m any low boiling points, otherwise the loss in storage by evaporation would be great. There m ust be just enough 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 th-* 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 a straight-dis tilled, 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. Red Crown Gasoline Conforms to United States Government Standard All Red Crown gasoline now being supplied in the Pacific Coast States is refined to con form to the United States Government Stand ard specifications. It is straight-distilled, all- refinery gasoline having the full, uniform chain of boiling points necessary for full-powered, dependable gasoline: Low boiling points for easy starting, medium boiling points for quick, smooth acceleration, and higb boiling points for power and mileage.
