ASTM D3120 : 96(2002)e1

Standard Test Method for Trace Quantities of Sulfur in Light Liquid Petroleum Hydrocarbons by Oxidative Microcoulometry

Standard Details

1.1 This test method covers the determination of sulfur in the range from 3.0 to 100 ppm (μg/g) in light liquid hydrocarbons boiling in the range from 26 to 274°C (80 to 525°F).

1.2 This test method may be extended to liquid materials with higher sulfur concentrations by appropriate dilution.

1.3 The preferred units are micrograms per grams. Values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. Values in inch-pound units are for information only.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, 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. For specific hazard statements, see 6.3, 6.4, 6.8, and 6.10.
