The freezing point and cold filtration point are two important indicators for evaluating the low-temperature flowability of diesel. The freezing point is the temperature at which diesel cannot flow, and the highest temperature at which the oil loses its flowability is measured under certain experimental conditions. When the oil is cooled to a certain temperature, tilt the specified test tube containing the oil sample 45 °, and after 1 minute, the oil surface inside the test tube cannot be seen to have moved with the naked eye, indicating that the oil has "solidified". The grades of diesel used in vehicles in our country are classified by pour point. Therefore, by using the brand, it is possible to determine the temperature environment in which diesel can be used. If the weather suddenly drops sharply, diesel vehicles should switch to low pour point diesel.

In practical use, wax crystals precipitate before diesel solidifies. If the crystals reach a certain size, it may cause blockage of the filter screen. The temperature at which diesel cannot pass through the filter screen under specified conditions is called the cold filtration point of diesel. The cold filtration point is the highest temperature at which fuel may form blockage in the filtration system, which means that fuel can pass through the filtration system normally above this temperature. In winter, drivers need to pay more attention to the cold filter point of their vehicle's fuel to avoid the inability of the vehicle to operate normally due to low temperatures.
