The boiling point of naphtha can vary depending on its specific composition, but it typically ranges from approximately 150°C to 200°C.
There are two main types of naphtha: light naphtha and heavy naphtha. Light naphtha has a lower boiling point and is used as a feedstock for the production of petrochemicals, while heavy naphtha has a higher boiling point and is used as a feedstock for gasoline production.
There is not one (sharp) boiling point (at standard pressure) because naphta is an oily mixture of mainly hydrocarbons found in fossile oil. The b.p. is dependant of the composition of that mixture.In petroleum engineering, full range naphtha is defined as the fraction of hydrocarbons in petroleum boiling between 30°C and 200°C.It consists of a complex mixture of hydrocarbon molecules generally having between 5 and 12 carbon atoms. In crude oil it typically constitutes 15-30% by weight.Light naphtha is the fraction boiling between 30°C and 90°C and consists of molecules with 5-6 carbon atoms. Heavy naphtha boils between 90°C and 200°C and consists of molecules with 6-12 carbons.Cf. Related links. (lower left corner to this answer page)
Kerosene is a derivative of the petroleum distillation, between 150 0C and 250 0C. Naphtha is also a derivative of the petroleum distillation, between 50 0C and 200 0C. But the chemical composition of naphtha and kerosene are not totally identical.
During fractional distillation of crude oil, the naphtha fraction separates because it has a lower boiling point compared to the other fractions. As the temperature in the distillation column increases, the naphtha vaporizes and rises to a level where it condenses back into liquid, forming a separate layer from the heavier fractions. This separation is based on the differences in boiling points of the components in crude oil.
Naphtha has a lower boiling point and is more volatile than diesel oil, which allows it to vaporize and ignite more easily. It contains lighter hydrocarbons that vaporize quickly when exposed to heat, making it highly flammable compared to diesel oil.

This value is very variable and specific foe each product.The boiling point is between 30 oC and 200 oC.
Low Aromatic Naphtha (LAN) has a lower distillation range, typically between 165 (Initial Boiling Point) and 180°C (

Unstabalized naphtha (also known as light naphtha) consists of the light components of a crude oil distillation which have not yet had the C4 components removed from it. Unstabalized naphtha is fed to a tall distillation column (approximately 20-30 trays) known as a debutanizer where all C4 components (and any lighter boiling point components) are removed. The bottom product of a debutanizer is stabilized naphtha.
During fractional distillation of crude oil, the naphtha fraction separates because it has a lower boiling point compared to the other fractions. As the temperature in the distillation column increases, the naphtha vaporizes and rises to a level where it condenses back into liquid, forming a separate layer from the heavier fractions.

Naphtha-based lighter fluids tend to evaporate faster than others due to their low boiling point and high volatility. Look for products specifically labeled as "naphtha" for a quicker evaporation rate.

Coker naphtha is an intermediate hydrocarbon product of a delayed coker unit. The boiling point is closest to that of gasoline. In some cases the delayed coker unit will contain a unit operation called a naphtha splitter, in which the coker naphtha is distilled by fractional distillation into light and heavy coker naphtha. The heavy coker naphtha may be discarded back into the light coker gasoil or used as an intermediate elsewhere the in refinery. A naphtha splitter is often required when the cut point of naphtha at the refinery is "low" (approximately less than 135°C). Low naphtha cut points are the result of stringent environmental regulations. Since most of the sulfur is in the heaviest third of the total gasoline, excluding it from the gasoline blending pool may be the easiest way to comply with strict environmental regulations. In this case the higher sulfur heavy coker naphtha may be discarded as a blending component for synthetic crude oil or blending with light cycle oil (LCO).
Naphtha is separated from other fractions of crude oil through the process of fractional distillation in a refinery. This process heats the crude oil to high temperatures, causing the different hydrocarbons within the oil to vaporize at different temperatures. Naphtha has a lower boiling point compared to other fractions, allowing it to be collected as a separate product.
