Cold filter plugging point

$$CFPP=3.1417\times LCSF-16.477$$

Abbreviations

• CFPP

Description

One important parameter for low temperature applications of a fuel is the cold filter plugging point (CFPP). The CFPP is the temperature at which a fuel jams a filter due to the formation of agglomerates crystals.

Biodiesel standards:

The EN 14214-2005 standard does not mention a low-temperature parameter in its specification lists. However, each country using EN 14214 can specify certain temperature limits for different times of a year depending on climate conditions.
