Standard Test Method for Determination of Totals of Aromatic, Polyaromatic and Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) Content of Diesel Fuel Using Gas Chromatography with Vacuum Ultraviolet Absorption Spectroscopy Detection (GC-VUV)

Importancia y uso:

5.1 The determination of group type composition of diesel fuel is useful for evaluating quality and expected performance. Aromatics and polyaromatics, in particular, are related to combustion characteristics, cetane number, energy content, lubricity, water solubility and exhaust emissions.

5.1.1 Aromatic hydrocarbon type analysis may be useful for evaluating refinery processes.

5.1.2 The ability to determine aromatics content in the presence of FAME may be useful to users of diesel fuel.
