What is the Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP)?

Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) is a critical parameter that determines the lowest temperature at which a given volume of diesel fuel, biodiesel blends, gas oils and other middle distillates can pass through a standardised filtration device. Understanding Cold Filter Plugging Point is crucial for preventing fuel filter plugging and engine problems in cold weather conditions. This guide will provide a brief overview of Cold Filter Plugging Point, including its significance, test methods, and practical implications for industry professionals.

What is the difference between Cloud Point and Cold Filter Plugging Point?

Cloud Point and Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) are both temperature-related parameters for diesel fuel, biodiesel blends, gas oils and other middle distillates, but they serve different purposes. The Cloud Point refers to the temperature at which solid components begin to form
