Petroleum Fractions by Carbon Range

Test Typical Carbon Range*

Fuel Scan C6-C40 Semi Quantitative

Gasoline range organics (GRO) C6-C12 Quantitative

Diesel range organics (DRO) C10-C28 Quantitative

Oil range organics (ORO) C20-C35 Quantitative

Residual range organics (RRO) C25-C36 Quantitative

Volatile petroleum hydrocarbons (VPH) C5-C12 ALIPHATICS** + C9-C10 AROMATICS*** Quantitative

Extractable petroleum hydrocarbons (EPH) C9-C36 ALIPHATICS + C11-C22 AROMATICS Quantitative

* Carbon range may differ from state to state. These ranges are the most common. ** Aliphatics - Petroleum hydrocarbons that do not contain benzene rings.*** Aromatics - Petroleum hydrocarbons that contain benzene rings.
