5. Freezing point (cloud point, set point, pour point and creep point)
-
Point trouble
As the temperature drops, an opacity appears, due to kerosene crystallization, before the fluid (e.g. mineral-based) sets. This determines the cloud point.
-
Freezing point
This is the temperature below which a cooled fluid, under prescribed test conditions, ceases to flow.
-
Flow point
The pour point is the lowest temperature at which the fluid still flows when cooled, without agitation, under standardized conditions.
The natural drainage points for mineral oils vary greatly depending on their origin:
