This technical report provides methods for estimating characterization factors for pure components, petroleum fractions and mixtures that are common in refinery applications. Methods for estimating inspection properties of petroleum fractions are also included. Both computer algorithms and figures are presented for estimation of these properties. An estimate of the accuracy and range of application for most methods is presented. See more
