Application Notes:
 

wax appearance point (WAP)


is the temperature at which wax begins to precipitate out of a distillate fuel, when the fuel is cooled under conditions prescribed by test method ASTM-D-3117. WAP is an indicator of the ability of a distillate fuel, such as diesel fuel, to flow at cold operating temperatures. It is very similar to cloud point.
