Improved High Temperature Simulated Distillation (ASTM D6352 and D7169) Using Zebron™ ZB-1XT SimDist Metal GC Column

This application note form Phenomenex looks at how use of the Zebron ZB-1XT SimDist metal columns, can improve methods of high temperature simulated distillation. These columns use Glass Infusion™ Technology and allow the boiling range in current methods to be extended allowing for better classification of crude oil. To fully investigate the effectiveness of the columns a range of samples was analyzed contained hydrocarbons up to c120.
