Cracking severity is the temperature used in a cracking process to yield a product, higher temperatures being used to produce ethane and benzene, and lower temperatures to produce propene and liquid products.
By increasing cracking severity in thermal cracking, all olefinic compounds in gasoline increase significantly.
Increasing the cracking severity in a cracking process increases the ethane yield.
