ASTM D447 Standard Test for Distillation of Plant Spray Oils

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D447 testing. ASTM D447 is a standard test method developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) for the distillation of plant spray oils. This test method is designed to determine the boiling range distribution of these oils used as agricultural spray adjuvants.

Plant spray oils are widely used in agriculture as a way to increase the effectiveness of pesticides and herbicides. These oils can increase their effectiveness by helping the active ingredients of these products to spread more evenly over the surface of the plants. However, the effectiveness of these oils can vary depending on their composition, and it is therefore important to be able to accurately determine their boiling range distribution.

The ASTM D447 standard test method involves distilling a sample of the herb spray oil under carefully controlled conditions and measuring the temperature at which the various fractions of the oil are collected. These fractions can then be analyzed to determine the boiling range distribution, which can provide important information about the composition and effectiveness of the oil.

The ASTM D447 standard test method provides detailed instructions for conducting this distillation process, including distillation apparatus specifications, temperature control, and sample preparation. The standard also provides guidelines for calculating and reporting test results, including the percentage of oil distilled at various temperature ranges.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.

This international standard has been developed in accordance with the internationally accepted principles of standardization set out in the Resolution on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guidelines and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
