Liquid petroleum products - Determination of total contamination - Part 2: Fatty acid methyl esters

This document specifies a method for the determination of the content of undissolved substances, referred to as total contamination, in neat fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). The working range is from 5 mg/kg to 27 mg/kg and it was established in an interlaboratory study by applying EN ISO 4259-1 [1].
This document in general applies to products having a kinematic viscosity not exceeding 8 mm2/s at 20 °C, or 5 mm2/s at 40 °C, e.g. FAME as specified in EN 14214 [2].
NOTE   For the purposes of this document, the term "% (V/V)" is used to represent the volume fraction, φ, of a material.
WARNING - Use of this test method may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This method does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this method to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

European foreword

This document (prEN 12662-2:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 19 “Gaseous

and liquid fuels, lubricants and related products of petroleum, synthetic and biological origin”, the

secretariat of which is held by NEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 12662:2014.

In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:

— split of the scope of the previous edition in two parts, with Part 1 covering the middle distillates and

the diesel fuels containing up to 30 % (V/V) of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) and with Part 2

covering the neat FAME in this document.

— update of the precision data following the statistical analysis [4] of the interlaboratory tests data

according to EN ISO 4259-1 [1].

Introduction

Excessive contamination in a fuel system can give rise to premature blocking of filters and/or hardware

failure, and is therefore undesirable. The determination of the content of undissolved substances,

referred to as total contamination, is a way to control this issue.

In the previous version of this method, the scope was covering middle distillates, diesel fuels containing

up to 30 % (V/V) of FAME and neat FAME. But, it was found that the method was not applicable for neat

FAME. It has been decided to split the scope in two parts: to include the previous version as Part 1 and to

develop a separate standard for neat FAME as Part 2.

An interlaboratory study was conducted to determine the valid precision of the method for determining

total contamination in neat FAME according to this document.

1 Scope

This document specifies a method for the determination of the content of undissolved substances,

referred to as total contamination, in neat fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). The working range is from

5 mg/kg to 27 mg/kg and it was established in an interlaboratory study by applying EN ISO 4259-1 [1].

This document in general applies to products having a kinematic viscosity not exceeding 8 mm /s at

20 °C, or 5 mm /s at 40 °C, e.g. FAME as specified in EN 14214 [2].

NOTE For the purposes of this document, the term “% (V/V)” is used to represent the volume fraction, φ, of a

material.

WARNING — Use of this test method may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This

method does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the

responsibility of the user of this method to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to

determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

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:

3.1
total contamination

undissolved substances retained on a filter after filtration under test conditions

3.2
absolute pressure
pressure measured relative to zero pressure or a total vacuum
4 Principle

A sample portion is weighed and filtered under vacuum through a pre-weighed filter. The filter with the

residue is washed, dried and weighed. Contamination is calculated from the difference in mass of the filter

and expressed relative to the sample mass as mg/kg.
5 Reagents and materials

5.1 Heptane, with a purity no less than 99,0 % (V/V), filtered using a membrane filter (6.17).
