Standard Test Method for Determination of Biodiesel (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) and Triglyceride Content in Diesel Fuel Oil Using Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR Transmission Method)

Importancia y uso:

5.1 Biodiesel is a fuel commodity primarily used as a value-added blending component with diesel fuel.

5.2 This test method is applicable for quality control in the production and distribution of diesel fuel and biodiesel blends containing FAME.

5.3 The use of triglycerides in fuels is not approved for transportation applications within any ASTM specification. This test method allows the quantification of triglyceride concentration in biodiesel blends, thus enabling detection of out-of-specification blending.

5.4 This test method is fast, simple to run, inexpensive and requires no sample preparation.
