A LETTER received last week from one
y who signs himself Constant User"
asks why the Standard Oil Company
Qndiana) insists that the gravity test for
gasoline is g falacy.
Not having his address we are answering
the inquiry here.
When the Standard Oil Company Qndiane)
began manufacturing gasoline the sureSt
safest, most practical method known for
determining the quality of the product was
by testing it with hydrometer.
In those days all Of the crude oil used came
from single locality. 1t was Of the same
base always and the products refined from
il were uniform.
AS the industry grew and oil wells were
found in widely separated localities it was
discovered that the crude varied so greatly
even when taken from wells in the same
locality that the hydrometer no longer
could be depended upon to indicate the
quality of the refined product with SatiSfac-
tory exGctneSS
Some other system of measurement had to
be used.
The chemical engineers employed by the
Standard Oil Company Indiana, who were
asked to solve the problem, suggested that
the boiling points of the several fractions,
which go to make gasoline, would give the
desired result They would be constant
and the usefulness of the product would not
vary so long as the range of boiling point
fractions remained unchanged.
The practical usefulness of the suggestion
was instantly recognized and the Standard
Oil Company CIndiana) Immediately adopted
it as the basis of their manufacturing practice.
By making its product conform to the
boiling point standard, it was possible to
guarantee uniform results at all times, even
though the hydrometer might show varia-
ton in gravity.
We know uniformity is of the most vital
importance TO the ultimate consumer. That
is why we insist that gravity is of no value
In determining the value of gasoline as fuel,
because it can not indicate the gaps.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) is
steadfast in its endeavorto render the greatest
service possible to the motoring public and
it is constantly trying to so improve the fuel
and oils it sells as TO give TO its patrons a
greater value for the money they spend
with IL
