Fat and oil derivatives - Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) - Determination of oxidation stability (accelerated oxidation test)
This document specifies a method for the determination of the oxidation stability of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) at 110 °C, by means of measuring the induction period up to 48 h.
For induction periods higher than 8,5 h the precision is not covered by the precision statement of this method.
NOTE 1 EN 15751 [1] describes a similar test method for oxidation stability determination of pure fatty acid methyl esters and of blends of FAME with petroleum-based diesel containing 2 % (V/V) of FAME at minimum.
NOTE 2 Limited studies on EN 15751 with EHN (2-ethyl hexyl nitrate) on FAME blends indicated that the stability is reduced to an extent which is within the reproducibility of the test method. It is likely that the oxidation stability of pure FAMEs is also reduced in the presence of EHN when EN 14112 is used for testing.
NOTE 3 For the purposes of this document, the term ''% (V/V)'' is used to represent the volume fraction.
Erzeugnisse aus pflanzlichen und tierischen Fetten und Ölen - Fettsäure-Methylester (FAME) - Bestimmung der Oxidationsstabilität (beschleunigte Oxidationsprüfung)
Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Oxidationsstabilität von Fettsäure Methylestern (FAME) bei 110 °C mittels Messung der Induktionszeit bis zu 48 h fest.
Bei Induktionszeiten länger als 8,5 h ist die Präzision nicht durch die Präzisionsangabe dieses Verfahrens abgedeckt.
ANMERKUNG 1 EN 15751 [1] beschreibt ein ähnliches Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Oxidationsstabilität von reinen Fettsäure Methylestern und von Mischungen von FAME mit aus Erdöl hergestellten Dieselkraftstoffen, die mindestens 2 % (V/V) FAME enthalten.
ANMERKUNG 2 Begrenzte Studien zur EN 15751 mit EHN (2 Ethylhexylnitrat) mit FAME Mischungen wiesen darauf hin, dass sich die Stabilität in einem Umfang verringert, der innerhalb der Vergleichpräzision dieses Prüfverfahrens liegt. Es ist wahrscheinlich, dass die Oxidationsstabilität von reinen FAMEs in Gegenwart von EHN ebenfalls verringert wird, wenn EN 14112 zur Prüfung angewendet wird.
ANMERKUNG 3 Für die Zwecke dieses Dokuments wird zur Angabe des Volumenanteils einer Substanz der Ausdruck „% (V/V)“ verwendet.
Produits dérivés des corps gras - Esters méthyliques d’acides gras (EMAG) - Détermination de la stabilité à l’oxydation (essai d’oxydation accéléré)
Le présent document spécifie une méthode de détermination de la stabilité à l’oxydation des esters méthyliques d’acides gras (EMAG) à 110 °C, en mesurant la période d’induction pendant une durée pouvant atteindre 48 h.
Pour les périodes d’induction supérieures à 8,5 h, la fidélité n’est pas couverte par les données de fidélité de la présente méthode.
NOTE 1 L’EN 15751 [1] décrit une méthode d’essai similaire permettant de déterminer la stabilité à l’oxydation des esters méthyliques d’acides gras et des mélanges d’EMAG avec un carburant à base de pétrole contenant au moins 2 % (V/V) d’EMAG.
NOTE 2 Des études limitées sur l’EN 15751 avec l’EHN (2-éthylhexyl nitrate) sur les mélanges d’EMAG ont indiqué que la stabilité est réduite dans les limites de reproductibilité de la méthode d’essai. Il semblerait que la stabilité à l’oxydation des EMAG purs soit également réduite en présence d’EHN lorsque l’EN 14112 est utilisée pour les essais.
NOTE 3 Pour les besoins du présent document, le terme « % (V/V) » est utilisé pour représenter la fraction volumique.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

• ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
induction period
time which passes between the moment when the measurement is started and the moment when the formation
of oxidation products begins to increase rapidly
3.2
oxidation stability
induction period determined according to the procedure specified in this document, expressed in hours
4 Principle
A stream of purified (dried) air is passed through the sample which has been heated to the target temperature
which is 110 °C in the usual application of the method. Volatile compounds are formed during the oxidation
process. They are passed, together with the air, into a flask containing demineralized or distilled water, and
equipped with a conductivity electrode. The electrode is connected to a measuring and recording device. It
indicates the end of the induction period by rapid increase of the conductivity due to the dissociation of volatile
carboxylic acids produced during the oxidation process and absorbed in the water. For more details on the
background of the method see Annex A.
5 Chemicals
Use only chemicals of analytical grade and distilled or demineralized water.
5.1 Ternary solvent mixture, consisting of methanol/toluene/acetone 1:1:1 (by volume).
