Carbon Residue for a hydrocarbon fuel can be defined as the tendency of that fuel to form Carbon deposits at high temperature in an inert atmosphere. Carbon Residue for a fuel is measured in weight percentage (wt %) or parts per million by weight (ppm wt). High Carbon Residue value is undesirable for a fuel.

Different Carbon Residue values can be defined for a fuel depending on the measurement method used. Ramsbottom Carbon Residue (RCR), Conradson Carbon Residue (CCR), Micro Carbon Residue (MCR) are the indexes used corresponding to three different measurement methods used.
