Petroleum products - Determination of base number - Perchloric acid potentiometric titration method

ISO 3771:2011 specifies a method for the determination of basic constituents in petroleum products by potentiometric titration with perchloric acid in glacial acetic acid.

The constituents that can be considered to have basic characteristics include organic and inorganic bases, amino compounds, salts of weak acids (e.g. soaps), basic salts of polyacid bases, and salts of heavy metals.

The ranges of base number values for which precision values for the method have been established are:

• unused oils: base numbers from 3 to 45;
• additive concentrates: base numbers from 5 to 45;
• used oils: base numbers from 3 to 30.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
