What is BS EN 16270 - Determination of high-boiling components in fuels about?
Automotive fuels are fluids whose combustion allows the supply of chemical energy to provide power for an automotive vehicle.
BS EN 16270 specifies a determination method of high boiling components in petrol according to EN 228 [1] and ethanol (E85) automotive fuels according to CEN/TS 15293 [2] by capillary gas chromatography using flame ionization detection. This method is applicable to high boiling material, such as fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) or diesel fuel, having a boiling point greater than or equal to 1-methylnaphthalene.
BS EN 16270 is applicable to materials having a vapour pressure low enough to permit sampling at ambient temperature, and covers a boiling range of at least 100 °C. This method pays special attention to fatty acid methyl esters.
Who is BS EN 16270 - Determination of high-boiling components in fuels for?
BS EN 16270 for determination of high-boiling components in fuels is useful for:
- Manufacturers of motor vehicles
- Owners of heavy, and light vehicles
- Manufacturers of vehicular engines
Why should you use BS EN 16270 - Determination of high-boiling components in fuels?
BS EN 16270 provides you with reliable, and quality requirements, and test methods for determining high-boiling components in automotive fuels.
BS EN 16270 also provides you with the guidelines for preparing the apparatus, carrying out calculations, and calibrations to ensure the determination of high-boiling components in fuels.
