Refiners should use the most accurate means available to determine values for E200 and E300. If these parameters can be measured directly, such direct measured values should be used. If E200 and E300 must be converted from distillation data, nonlinear curve-fitting would be considered more accurate than linear interpolation since distillation curves are generally nonlinear, and therefore should be used.(7/1/94)
