This edition of the Manual on Hydrocarbon Analysis provides information on the analysis of crude oils and aromatic products. Methodology is changing, requiring revisions to existing methods and the standardization of new ones. The impact of computerization and microprocessors cannot be over emphasized. Modern data handling capabilities allow highly detailed compositional analyses to be performed that were once only a vision. Some of these resulting methods have been standardized; others will follow as experience is gained. Industry requirements for accurate, more detailed data in a shorter time frame have resulted in substantial method changes. Rapid instrumental techniques, incorporating automatic sampling and on-line instrumentation, are replacing many of the time-honored empirical procedures. Yet many of the established techniques are still utilized and, thus, they are included in this manual along with the methods that are replacing them.
