This test method covers a distillation test for pitch applicable whenever the amount of distillate below 270C is less than 2.0 % by this test method.

This test method is being withdrawn due to poor precision and a very broad repeatability and reproducibility.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D02 on Petroleum Products and Lubricants, this test method was withdrawn without replacement in August 2006.
