cloud point


is the temperature at which a cloud or haze of wax crystals appears at the bottom of a sample of lubricating oil in a test jar, when cooled under conditions prescribed by test method ASTM-D-2500. Cloud point is an indicator of the tendency of the oil to plug filters or small orifices at cold operating temperatures. It is very similar to wax appearance point.
