ASTM D4294 Standard Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum and Petroleum Products by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D4294 standard. This test method covers the determination of total sulfur in petroleum and petroleum products that are single-phase and liquid at ambient conditions, liquefiable with moderate heat, or dissolved in hydrocarbon solvents.

ASTM D4294 Standard Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum and Petroleum Products by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry

These materials may include diesel fuel, jet fuel, kerosene, other distilled oils, naphtha, residual oil, lubricating base oil, hydraulic oil, crude oil, unleaded gasoline, gasoline-ethanol blends, biodiesel, and similar petroleum products.

Interlaboratory studies on precision revealed coverage to be 17 mg/kg to 4,6% mass. The estimate of the pooled limit of quantitation (PLOQ) for this test method is 6259 mg/kg as calculated by the procedures in Application D16.0.

However, the applicability of the test method at sulfur concentrations below about 20 mg/kg must be determined on an individual basis, as the instrumentation covered by this test method may differ in sensitivity.

Volatile samples (such as high vapor pressure gasolines or light hydrocarbons) may not meet specified sensitivity due to selective loss of light material during analysis.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

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, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
