Liquid petroleum products - Determination of the total volatile sulfur content in liquefied petroleum gases by ultraviolet fluorescence

Scope

This European Standard specifies an ultraviolet (UV) fluorescence test method for the determination of the sulfur content of liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) containing up to 0,35 % (m/m) halogens, and having sulfur contents in the range of 2 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg.
Other products can be analysed for total sulfur content per this test method; however, no precision data for products other than liquefied petroleum gases and for sulfur content levels outside the specified range have been established for this test method.
This test method may not detect sulfur compounds that do not vaporize under the conditions of the test.
NOTE For the purposes of this document, the terms "% (m/m)"and "% (V/V)"are used to represent respectively the mass fraction and the volume fraction.
WARNING - The use of this Standard can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This Standard does not purport to address all the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of users of this standard to take appropriate measures to ensure the safety and health of personnel prior to the application of the standard, and fulfil statutory and regulatory requirements for this purpose.
