Description

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.
