Determination of Total Aromatic, Monoaromatic and Diaromatic Content of Aviation Turbine Fuels Using Gas Chromatography with ASTM D8267 Vacuum Ultraviolet Absorption Spectroscopy Detection (GC-VUV)

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D8267 testing. This test method is a standard procedure for determining the total aromatic, monoaromatic and diaromatic content in aviation turbine fuels using gas chromatography and vacuum ultraviolet detection (GC-VUV).

The concentrations of compound classes and certain individual compounds are determined by mass percent or volume percent.

This test method was developed for testing aviation turbine engine fuels with concentration test results ranging from 0,487 to 27,876% by volume total aromatic compounds, monoaromatics from 0,49% to 27,537% by volume, and concentrations ranging from 0,027% to 2,523% by volume.

Individual hydrocarbon components are not reported with this test method, but any individual component determination is included in the appropriate sum of the total aromatic, monoaromatic, or diaromatic groups.

Individual compound peaks are typically not separated from baseline by the procedure described in this test method, meaning some components will coelute. Coelutions are resolved at the detector using VUV absorbance spectra and deconvolution algorithms.

This test method has been tested for aviation turbine engine fuels; This test method may be applicable to other hydrocarbon streams boiling between hexane (68 °C) and heneicosan (356 °C), including sustainable alternative jet fuels, but has not been extensively tested for such applications.

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.
