Petroleum products - Determination of aromatic hydrocarbon types in middle distillates - High performance liquid chromatography method with refractive index detection
This document specifies a test method for the determination of the content of mono-aromatic, di-aromatic and tri+-aromatic hydrocarbons in diesel fuels, paraffinic diesel fuels and petroleum distillates.
This document defines two procedures, A and B.
Procedure A is applicable to diesel fuels that may contain fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) up to 30 % (V/V) (as in [1], [2] or [3]) and petroleum distillates in the boiling range from 150 °C to 400 °C (as in [4].
Procedure B is applicable to paraffinic diesel fuels with up to 7 % (V/V) FAME. This procedure does not contain a dilution of the sample in order to determine the low levels of aromatic components in these fuels.
The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons content is calculated from the sum of di-aromatic and tri+-aromatic hydrocarbons and the total content of aromatic compounds is calculated from the sum of the individual aromatic hydrocarbon types.
Compounds containing sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen can interfere in the determination; mono-alkenes do not interfere, but conjugated di-alkenes and poly-alkenes, if present, can do so.
NOTE 1 For the purpose of this European Standard, the terms "% (m/m)" and "% (V/V)" are used to represent the mass fraction, µ, and the volume fraction, φ, of a material respectively.
NOTE 2 By convention, the aromatic hydrocarbon types are defined on the basis of their elution characteristics from the specified liquid chromatography column relative to model aromatic compounds. Their quantification is performed using an external calibration with a single aromatic compound for each of them, which may or may not be representative of the aromatics present in the sample. Alternative techniques and test methods may classify and quantify individual aromatic hydrocarbon types differently.
NOTE 3 Backflush is part of laboratory-internal maintenance.
WARNING - The use of this standard can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of 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 application of the standard, and fulfil statutory and regulatory requirements for this purpose.

Produits pétroliers - Détermination des familles d'hydrocarbures aromatiques dans les distillats moyens - Méthode par chromatographie liquide à haute performance avec détection par réfractométrie différentielle
Le présent document prescrit une méthode pour déterminer la teneur en hydrocarbures mono-aromatiques, di-aromatiques, et tri+-aromatiques des carburants diesel, des carburants diesel paraffiniques et des distillats pétroliers.
Le présent document définit deux modes opératoires, A et B.
La procédure A est applicable aux carburants diesel, qui peuvent contenir des esters méthyliques d’acides gras (EMAG) jusqu’à 30 % (V/V) (comme ceux prescrits dans [1], [2] ou [3]), et distillats pétroliers d'intervalle d'ébullition de 150 °C à 400 °C (comme ceux prescrits dans [4]).
La procédure B est applicable aux carburants diesel paraffiniques qui peuvent contenir jusqu’à 7 % (V/V) d’EMAG. Cette procédure n’implique pas d’étape de dilution de l’échantillon afin de déterminer les faibles teneurs en aromatiques dans ces carburants.
La teneur en hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques est calculée à partir de la somme des di-aromatiques, et tri+-aromatiques, et la teneur totale en composés aromatiques est calculée à partir de la somme des teneurs des différentes familles de composés aromatiques. !Les intervalles de mesure qui s’appliquent à cette méthode sont donnés dans les Tableaux 2 et 3."
Les composés soufrés, azotés et oxygénés peuvent interférer dans la mesure. Les mono-oléfines n'interfèrent pas, au contraire des dioléfines conjuguées et des polyoléfines qui peuvent interférer, si elles sont présentes.
NOTE 1 Pour les besoins de la présente Norme européenne, les expressions « % (m/m) » et « % (V/V) » sont utilisées pour désigner respectivement les fractions massiques, µ, et les fractions volumiques, φ, d’un produit.
NOTE 2 Par convention, la présente Norme définit les familles d’hydrocarbures aromatiques à partir de leurs caractéristiques d’élution dans la colonne de chromatographie liquide prescrite, et par comparaison aux temps d'élution des composés aromatiques servant de modèle. La quantification est effectuée par étalonnage externe avec un seul composé aromatique par famille d’hydrocarbures aromatiques, ce composé pouvant être ou non représentatif des aromatiques présents dans l’échantillon. Il est possible que des techniques et méthodes alternatives classent et quantifient différemment les familles d'hydrocarbures aromatiques.
!NOTE 3 Le rétrobalayage fait partie de la maintenance interne au laboratoire."

Naftni proizvodi - Določevanje aromatskih ogljikovodikov v srednjih destilatih - Metoda tekočinske kromatografije visoke ločljivosti z detekcijo lomnega količnika
Ta dokument določa preskusno metodo za določevanje vsebnosti aromatskih ogljikovodikov z enim, dvema, tremi ali več aromatskimi obroči v dizelskih gorivih, parafinskih dizelskih gorivih in naftnih destilatih.
Ta dokument določa dva postopka, A in B.
Postopek A se uporablja za dizelska goriva, ki lahko vsebujejo do 30 % (V/V) metilnih estrov maščobnih kislin (FAME) (kot v delih [1], [2] ali [3]), in naftne destilate z vreliščem med 150 °C in 400 °C (kot v delu [4]).
Postopek B se uporablja za parafinska dizelska goriva z vsebnostjo metilnih estrov maščobnih kislin do 7 % (V/V). Ta postopek ne vključuje redčenja vzorca za namene ugotavljanja nizke vsebnosti aromatskih snovi v teh gorivih.
Vsebnost policikličnih aromatskih ogljikovodikov se izračuna s seštevanjem aromatskih ogljikovodikov z dvema obročema in aromatskih ogljikovodikov s tremi ali več obroči, skupna vsebnost aromatskih spojin pa na podlagi seštevka posameznih vrst aromatskih ogljikovodikov.
Spojine, ki vsebujejo žveplo, dušik in kisik, lahko povzročajo motnje pri določevanju; monoalkeni ne povzročajo motenj, konjugirani dialkeni in polialkeni pa jih lahko povzročajo, če so prisotni.
OPOMBA 1: V tem evropskem standardu sta uporabljeni oznaki »% (m/m)« in »% (V/V)«, ki označujeta masni delež (µ) oziroma prostorninski delež (φ) materiala.
OPOMBA 2: Po dogovoru so vrste aromatskih ogljikovodikov opredeljene na podlagi njihovih elucijskih lastnosti iz določene kolone tekočinske kromatografije v primerjavi z modelnimi aromatskimi spojinami. Njihova kvantifikacija se izvede z uporabo zunanjega umerjanja z enojno aromatsko spojino za posamezno vrsto aromatskih ogljikovodikov, ki je lahko reprezentativna za aromatske spojine iz vzorca ali pa tudi ne. Druge tehnike in preskusne metode lahko drugače razvrstijo in kvantificirajo posamezne vrste aromatskih ogljikovodikov.
OPOMBA 3: Povratno izpiranje je del vzdrževanja laboratorijske opreme.
OPOZORILO: Pri uporabi tega standarda so lahko prisotni nevarni materiali, postopki in oprema. Ta standard ne obravnava vseh varnostnih težav, ki se navezujejo na njegovo uporabo. Za sprejetje ustreznih ukrepov za zagotavljanje varnosti in zdravja osebja pred uporabo standarda ter izpolnjevanje zakonskih in regulativnih zahtev za ta namen so odgovorni uporabniki tega standarda.

1 Scope
This document specifies a test method for the determination of the content of mono-aromatic, di-
aromatic and tri+-aromatic hydrocarbons in diesel fuels, paraffinic diesel fuels and petroleum
distillates.
This document defines two procedures, A and B.
Procedure A is applicable to diesel fuels that may contain fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) up to
30 % (V/V) (as in [1], [2] or [3]) and petroleum distillates in the boiling range from 150 °C to 400 °C (as
in [4].
Procedure B is applicable to paraffinic diesel fuels with up to 7 % (V/V) FAME. This procedure does not
contain a dilution of the sample in order to determine the low levels of aromatic components in these
fuels.
The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons content is calculated from the sum of di-aromatic and tri+-
aromatic hydrocarbons and the total content of aromatic compounds is calculated from the sum of the
individual aromatic hydrocarbon types. !The measurement ranges that apply to this method are
given in Table 2 and 3."
Compounds containing sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen can interfere in the determination; mono-alkenes do
not interfere, but conjugated di-alkenes and poly-alkenes, if present, can do so.
NOTE 1 For the purpose of this European Standard, the terms “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent
the mass fraction, µ, and the volume fraction, φ, of a material respectively.
NOTE 2 By convention, the aromatic hydrocarbon types are defined on the basis of their elution characteristics
from the specified liquid chromatography column relative to model aromatic compounds. Their quantification is
performed using an external calibration with a single aromatic compound for each of them, which may or may not
be representative of the aromatics present in the sample. Alternative techniques and test methods may classify
and quantify individual aromatic hydrocarbon types differently.
