Preheating of liquid fuel oils according to this standard can be necessary for transport, storage, and combustion.
The mixing with fuel oils from other raw materials should be avoided.
This standard does not cover marine fuel applications.

This European Standard defines the specifications and the test methods for carbon black feedstock i.e. coal tar, coal tar fractions or coal tar distillates used for the manufacture of carbon black.

This European Standard specifies the requirements, acceptance tolerances and chemical and physical test procedures for lead oxides, considering litharges (powder or granulated), battery oxides (Barton or Mill) and crystal red lead. WARNING: Lead and lead compounds are toxic by inhalation and/or ingestion.

A test portion is evaporated at ambient temperature and the oil contained in the residue is extracted with carbon tetrachloride. The oil contained in the residue is determined either gravimetrically by evaporation of the organic solvent and weighing of the residue or by spectrometric measurement of the absorbance of the organic phase at a wavelength of approximately 3.42 m. The gravimetric method is applicable to products having an oil content equal to or greater than 10 mg/kg. The infra-red spe...view more

A test portion is introduced into a solution of boric acid and the solution obtained is titrated with a standard volumetric solution of sulfuric acid in the presence of methyl red as indicator. The method is applicable to solutions containing not more than 35 % (m/m) of ammonia.

A test portion is evaporated in the presence of ethanediol and the water content of the residue is determined by the Karl Fischer method with direct electrometric measurement. The method is applicable to products having water contents equal to or greater than 50 mg/kg. For water contents greater than 1000 mg/kg it is preferable to dilute the evaporation residue with anhydrous methanol in accordance with ISO 4276 and titrate an aliquot portion of the diluted solution.

A test portion is evaporated in a tared platinum dish and the residue is weighed after drying at 105 2 °C. The method is applicable to solutions containing not more than 35 % (m/m) ammonia.

Specifies the apparatus and the procedure to be used. The procedure consists in removal of a sample into stainless steel cylinder, which has previously been cleaned, dried and evacuated and filling of the sampling cylinder with the stipulated quantity that is permissible with regard to safety. The filling shall never exceed 75 % of the capacity of the cylinder at ambient temperature.

Applicable to products having Ca contents equal to or more than 50 mg/kg. The presence of soluble SiO2 up to 5 g/ml in the test solution does not interfere. Hydrolysis by boiling a test portion in hydrochloric acid medium. Addition of sodium ions, until a constant concentration is obtained, to stabilize the promotion and emission of Ca; addition of lanthanum chloride to increase the sensitivity of the method. Aspiration of the solution into a dinitrogen monoxide-acetylene flame. Spectrometric me...view more

Specifies a method based on the fusion of a test portion with sodium carbonate and boric acid and dissolution in perchloric acid solution, followed by formation of the ammonium molybdophosphate complex and extraction of the complex with isobutyl acetate. The solution is absorbed into an acetylene/dinitrogen monoxide flame and the molybdenum, and hence the phosphorus, is determined by measuring the absorbance of the 379,8 nm line emitted by a molybdenum hollow-cathode lamp.

Complements the second edition of ISO 3139/1976.

Covers a method applicable to liquid or solid products having mercury contents greater than 0,02 mg/kg. The principle of determination is based on oxidation of the mercury contained in a test portion to mercury(II) ions by potassium permanganate in the presence of sulphuric acid, reduction of the excess oxidant by hydroxylammonium chloride, reduction of the mercury(II) ions to mercury by tin(II) chloride, entrainment of the mercury in air or nitrogen, passage of the gaseous mixture through a mea...view more

Covers a method, the orinciple of which consists in preparing tablets from a mixture of the test portion and a binder and measuring the intensity of the K line emitted by the sulphur. The measured intensity is then compared with the intensity of emission of standard tablets of known sulphur content. The method is applicable to products having sulphur contents between 0,01 and 2 % (m/m).

Applicable to the determination of losses equal to or more than 0.008 % (m/m). The principle consists in drying of a test portion at (105 1) °C for 6 h. The dried test portion is retained for the other determinations given in the annex. Has also been approved by the IUPAC.

Applicable to products having contents, expressed as phosphorus pentoxide, of 0.005 % (m/m) to 0.05 % (m/m). The residue from the determination of the loss of mass according to ISO 5444 is used to prepare the test sample. Dissolution in dilute hydrochloric acid and nitric acid solutions. Formation of the yellow molybdovanadate and spectrophotometric measurement at a wavelength of about 420 nm. Calculation of the content from the measured absorbance.

Two cases are considered: sulphuric acid contents equal to or lower than 98 % (m/m) and sulphuric acid contents higher than 98 % (m/m). The principle is based on oxidation of a test portion with hydrogen peroxide and titration of the total acidity with a standard volumetric sodium hydroxide solution, in the presence of methyl red as indicator. - Replaces ISO Recommendation R 910-1968.
