it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons, existing as aggregates of aciniform morphology which are composed of spheroidal
primary particles, uniformity of primary particle sizes within a given aggregate, and turbostratic layering within the primary
