Petroleum and related products - Determination of low concentration of sulfur in automotive fuels - Energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometric method

This document specifies an energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) test method for the determination of sulfur content in automotive fuels. This document is applicable to:

?    gasoline containing up to 3,7 % oxygen by mass (including those blended with ethanol up to 10 % by volume) having sulfur contents in the range of 6,9 mg/kg to 56,7 mg/kg,

?    diesel fuels including those containing up to about 30 % fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) by volume, paraffinic diesel fuel, and neat FAME, having sulfur contents in the range of 5,0 mg/kg to 60,2 mg/kg.

The sulfur content in other products can be determined according to the test method specified in this document; however, no precision data for products other than automotive fuels and for results outside the specified range have been established for this document.

For reasons of spectral overlap, this document is not applicable to leaded automotive gasoline, gasoline having a content of greater than 8 mg/kg lead or to product and feedstock containing lead, silicon, phosphorus, calcium, potassium or halides at concentrations greater than one tenth of the concentration of sulfur measured, or more than 10 mg/kg, whichever is the greater.

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.

With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

The Redline + service - standards comparator allows you to easily and simply identify major changes between the current standard and its last canceled version.

At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.


The Redlines + service is offered to you on the collection of French standards in force, in French language and in HTML and PDF format.
