BS EN 13132:2000

Methods of test for petroleum and its products. Liquid petroleum products. Unleaded petrol. Determination of organic oxygenate compounds and total organically bound oxygen content by gas chromatography using column switching. | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This European Standard specifies a gas chromatographic method using column switching for the quantitative determination of individual organic oxygenate compounds in the range 0,17 % (m/m) to 15 % (m/m) and total organically bound oxygen up 3,7 % (m/m) in unleaded petrol having a final boiling point not greater than 220 °C.

NOTE 1 The final boiling point can be measured by using prEN ISO 3405:19981).

NOTE 2 Fur the purposes of this European Standard, the terms "% (m/m)" and "% (V/V)" are used to represent respectively the mass fraction and the volume fraction.

This European Standard is applicable to the determination of oxygen-containing compounds and total organically bound oxygen in unleaded petrol in line with the relevant EU Directives2).

WARNING The use of this standard can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
