Petroleum products - Determination of sulfur content of automotive fuels - Wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (ISO 20884:2004)

ISO 20884:2004 specifies a wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) test method for the determination of the sulfur content of liquid, homogeneous automotive fuels from 5 mg/kg to 500 mg/kg, which have a maximum oxygen content of 2,7 % (m/m). This product range covers diesel fuels containing up to 5 % (V/V) fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) and motor gasolines.
Products with higher oxygen content show significant matrix effects, e.g. FAME used as biodiesel. Nevertheless, FAME may be analysed when the corresponding procedures are followed.
Other products may be analysed with this test method. However, precision data for products other than those mentioned have not been established for ISO 20884:2004.

Produits pétroliers - Détermination de la teneur en soufre des carburants pour automobiles - Spectrométrie de fluorescence de rayons X dispersive en longueur d'onde (ISO 20884:2004)

L'ISO 20884:2004 spécifie une méthode d'essai par fluorescence de rayons X dispersive en longueur d'onde (FXDLO) pour le dosage du soufre dans les carburants liquides homogènes pour automobiles entre 5 mg/kg et 500 mg/kg et dont la teneur en oxygène est au maximum de 2,7 % (m/m). Cette gamme de produits comprend les carburants diesels (gazoles) contenant jusqu'à 5 % (V/V) d'esters méthyliques d'acide gras (EMAG) et les essences automobiles.
Les produits ayant une teneur en oxygène supérieure à cette valeur présentent des effets de matrice significatifs, par exemple les EMAG utilisés comme biocarburants diesel. Ces EMAG peuvent tout de même être analysés si les modes opératoires correspondants sont suivis.
D'autres produits peuvent être analysés avec cette méthode d'essai. Cependant, il n'a pas été établi de données de fidélité pour des produits autres que ceux mentionnés dans l'ISO 20884:2004.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 20884:2004(E)

Petroleum products — Determination of sulfur content of
automotive fuels — Wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence
spectrometry
WARNING — The use of this International Standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and
equipment. This International Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this International Standard to establish
appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior
to use.
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) test method for
the determination of the sulfur content of liquid, homogeneous automotive fuels from 5 mg/kg to 500 mg/kg,
which have a maximum oxygen content of 2,7 % (m/m). This product range covers diesel fuels containing up
to 5 % (V/V) fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) and motor gasolines.
Products with higher oxygen content show significant matrix effects, e.g. FAME used as biodiesel.
Nevertheless, FAME may be analysed when the corresponding procedures are followed (see 4.3 and 7.1).
For further details due to matrix effects and interferences, see Annex A.
Other products may be analysed with this test method. However, precision data for products other than those
mentioned have not been established for this International Standard.
NOTE For the purposes of this International Standard, the terms “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent the
mass fraction and the volume fraction of a material respectively.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Principle
The sample under analysis is exposed in a sample cell to the primary radiation of an X-ray tube. The count
rates of the S-Kα X-ray fluorescence and the count rate of the background radiation are measured. The sulfur
content of the sample is determined from a calibration curve defined for the relevant measuring range.
NOTE Whilst the Siegbahn X-ray line notation (S-Kα) is used in this International Standard, the corresponding IUPAC
X-ray line notation is S K-L .

4 Reagents
4.1 Dibutylsulfide, of nominal sulfur content 21,92 % (m/m), or dibutyldisulfide, of nominal sulfur content
35,95 % (m/m), used as a calibrating substance for sulfur.
Care should to be taken due to volatility (see Annex A).
4.2 White oil (paraffinum perliquidum), for use as a blank solution, of high purity grade, with a sulfur
content < 1 mg/kg. Check the blank solution prior to use with the spectrometer (5.1). A signal for sulfur shall
not be detectable.
4.3 Methyl oleate, for use as a blank solution when FAME is analysed, with a sulfur content < 1 mg/kg.
Check the blank solution prior to use with the spectrometer (5.1). A signal for sulfur shall not be detectable.
Other oxygen-containing and sulfur-free blank solutions, such as octanol, can also be used.
5 Apparatus
5.1 Wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, with the capability for measuring the count
rates of the S-Kα X-ray fluorescence radiation and the background radiation. The minimum requirements for
the spectrometer are given in Table 1.
