Standard test method for determination of total sulfur in light hydrocarbons, spark ignition Engine Fuel, Diesel Engine Fuel, and Engine Oil by Ultraviolet Fluorescence

Scope

This test method covers the determination of total sulfur in liquid hydrocarbons, boiling in the range from approximately 25 °C to 400°C, with viscosities between approximately 0,2 cSt and 20 cSt (mm2/S) at room temperature.
Three separate interlaboratory studies (ILS) on precision, and three other investigations that resulted in an ASTM research report, have determined that this test method is applicable to naphthas, distillates, engine oil, ethanol, Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME), and engine fuel such as gasoline, oxygen enriched gasoline (ethanol blends, E-85, M-85, RFG), diesel, biodiesel, diesel/biodiesel blends, and jet fuel. Samples containing 1,0 to 8000 mg/kg total sulfur can be analyzed
This test method is applicable for total sulfur determination in liquid hydrocarbons containing less than 0,35 % (m/m) halogen(s).
