A Standard Test for

Gasoline
T h e t h i r d o f a s e r ie s o f th r e e s ta te m e n ts
W a r needs m ade p ro m in en t th e question of a s ta n d a rd te st for gasoline. 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.
