Characterization factor for oil distillation

Input(s)

TbT_{b}: Average Boiling Point (R(\left({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{R}\left(\right.\right. or F+460)\left.^{\circ} \mathrm{F}+460\right) )

γ60/60F\gamma_{60 / 60^{\circ} \mathrm{F}}: Specific Gravity (dimensionless)

Output(s)

K: Characterization Factor (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

K=Tb1/3γ60/60F\frac{\mathrm{K}=\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{b}}^{1 / 3}}{\gamma_{60 / 60^{\circ} \mathrm{F}}}
