Boiling Point

The temperature at which a product exhibits a vapour pressure equal to the atmospheric pressure, resulting in that state changes phase from liquid to gas.

Colour

Colour is an important physical property of a cargo and an important indicator of product quality

Density

Density is the amount of something per unit volume. Most typically, one expresses the mass per unit volume for a solid or liquid.

Flash Point

The minimum temperature at which vapours from a substance will ignite and sustain a flame. Flash Point represents the change from safe to risk

Hardness

The total concentration of calcium and magnesium expressed in calcium carbonate equivalents in water.

Melting Point

The temperature at which a product changes phase from solid to liquid

Polymerization

Polymerization is the process by which monomers (smaller chemical units) are combined to form a polymer. 

PPM PPB PPT

Dimensionless quantities: Percent, Permille, PPM, PPB and PPT.

Saponification

The chemical reaction that produces soap is called saponification. In this reaction, fat or oil reacts with a strong base (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) to produce glycerin (glycerol) and soap.

Vapour pressure

The vapour pressure of a liquid is the pressure exerted by its vapour when the liquid and vapour are in dynamic equilibrium.

Viscosity

The resistance of a liquid to flow

Inert Gas Residues

Soot from the combustion of hydrocarbons in inert gas plant
