ASTM D6728 Standard Test Method for Determination of Contaminants in Gas Turbine and Diesel Engine Fuel by Rotary Disc Electrode Atomic Emission Spectrometry

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D6728 testing. This test method covers the determination of pollutants and materials resulting from corrosion in gas turbine or diesel engine fuels by rotating disc electrode atomic emission spectroscopy (RDE-AES).

ASTM D6728 Standard Test Method for Determination of Contaminants in Gas Turbine and Diesel Engine Fuel by Rotary Disc Electrode Atomic Emission Spectrometry

Test method ASTM 0-GT, 1-GT, 2-GT, 3-GT and 4-GT gas turbine fuels and low sulfur No. 1-D, low sulfur No. Valid for 2nd class.

Trace metal limits for fuel entering turbine combustion chambers are given in specification D2880 for all GT classes at 0,5 mg/kg each for vanadium, sodium + potassium, calcium and lead.

This test method enables rapid on-site determination of impurities and corrosive elements ranging from fractions of mg/kg to hundreds of mg/kg in gas turbine and diesel engine fuels, so that fuel quality and required level of purification can be determined.

This test method uses oil-soluble metals for calibration and does not claim to quantify or detect insoluble particles.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. Preferred units are mg/kg (ppm by mass).

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
