First of all, the oil is distilled and separated into about 40 cuts. Cuts having boiling temperature higher than 370°F are distilled at small pressure. This is done because it allows the oil to vaporize below this temperature and many unnecessary thermal reactions are avoided. Also, chemical properties of the oil are preserved by doing this. This is when the tests of the crude oil come into play. Each cut is subjected to different tests and this helps in determining the products where the cuts could be used in (Rees and Anglin).
