    This document is a lab report from a student named Siyar Mohammed Ameen Saleem from the Department of Petrochemical at Duhok Polytechnic University. The report discusses determining the aniline point of a petroleum product sample. The aniline point gives an indication of the aromatic content and composition of the sample. A higher aniline point indicates lower aromatic content and higher paraffinic content, making the sample more desirable. The significance of the aniline point test is that it measures the aromatic content, which is an important property related to qualities like the diesel index and deterioration of rubber.

    Discussion:

    Why the Aniline point gives an indication of the composition of


    the sample?
    Aniline point gives an indication of aromatic content in the
    sample, indicates the degree of aromaticity of the fraction. since
    aniline is an aromatic compound which is dissolved on heating
    by the aromatics in the oil. The higher the aniline point the lower
    the aromatic content and the higher paraffinic content. In general
    oils with a high aromatic content are more detrimental to rubber
    products than those with a low aromatic content. The relative
    aromatic content of an oil is indicated by its aniline point and oils
    with a high aromatic content have a low aniline point and vice
    versa. The higher the aniline point of the oil, the more desirable.

    What is the significance of the Aniline point test?


    It is the measure of an aromatic content of the oil. It is the
    characteristic property of diesel. Aniline being an aromatic
    compound freely mixes with aromatics, so a low aniline point
    indicates a low diesel index, higher aniline point causes increase
    in cetane number hence making the oil suitable for use in diesel
    engine. It is useful in expressing the quality of diesel oil by use
    of the diesel index. Aniline point also predicts the amount of
    carbon present in the aromatics, Aniline point of an oil gives an
    indication of the possible deterioration of rubber sealing.
    What are the advantages of API value?
    The API (American Petroleum Institute) gravity is an
    alternative value for comparing the densities of different
    petroleum products, the API is used to classify sample as light,
    medium, heavy, extra heavy, by determining the API value of a
    sample we will get the most important properties of sample so we
    will know how heavy or light our samples are, so the more API
    gravity shows us our sample contain more light components,
    short carbon chain such us light products like Gasoline, we have
    to know all properties of our sample before refining. Refining
    crude oil leads to products like gasoline, diesel fuel or lubricating
    oils. Petroleum products are complex mixtures of various
    hydrocarbons, characterized through their physical propert
