$Oil products. Oil products. Containers of various productsobtained from crude oil. Crude oil is a mixture ofhydrocarbons that is heated to separate it intoparts called fractions. The hydrocarbons vary insize, and as the crude oil is heated, the lighterfractions boil off first. These are arranged herein order of boiling point from left (lowest) toright (highest): liquid petroleum gas (a mix ofbutane and propane), petrol (gasoline), kerosene(jet fuel), diesel, lubricating oils, fuel oil,and bitumen. These oil products are used as fuels,industrial lubricants, and to make products suchas plastics in the chemical industry. See T110/482for a range of oil products in test tubes.$

$Crude oil. Crude oil in a beaker. Crude oil is oil fromthe ground before it has been refined. It is avaried mixture of hydrocarbons, and the refiningprocess at an oil refinery separates it into partscalled fractions. The crude oil is heated and thelighter hydrocarbon fractions boil off and leavethe heavier fractions behind. Fractions that areobtained from crude oil include bitumen, fuel oil,lubricating oils, diesel, jet fuel, petrol, andpetroleum gases. The fractions are used asheating, aircraft, and motor vehicle fuels, asindustrial lubricants, and to make products suchas plastics in the chemical industry. To comparethe colour and viscosity of crude oil and itsfractions, see T110/483-491 and T110/492-501.$
