Petroleum products - Determination of boiling range distribution by gas chromatography method - Part 4: Light fractions of crude oil
This document specifies a method for the determination of the boiling range distribution of petroleum products by capillary gas chromatography using flame ionization detection. This document is applicable to stabilized crude oils and for the boiling range distribution and the recovery up to and including n-nonane. A stabilized crude oil is defined as having a Reid Vapour Pressure equivalent to or less than 82,7 kPa as determined by IP 481 [3].
Annex C specifies an algorithm for merging the boiling point distribution results obtained using this method with the results obtained with EN 15199-3. This will result in a boiling range distribution and recovery up to C120.
This precision presented in this document is applicable to the boiling range distribution up to n-nonane. For the precision of the boiling range distribution from n-nonane through C120, see EN 15199-3.
NOTE 1 There is no specific precision statement for the combined results obtained after merging the results of EN 15199-3 and EN 15199-4.
NOTE 2 For the purposes of this document, the terms "% (m/m)" and "% (V/V)" are used to represent respectively the mass fraction, ω, and the volume fraction, φ.

Produits pétroliers - Détermination de la répartition dans l'intervalle de distillation par méthode de chromatographie en phase gazeuse - Partie 4 : Fractions légères du pétrole brut
Le présent document spécifie une méthode de détermination de la répartition dans l’intervalle de distillation des produits pétroliers par chromatographie en phase gazeuse (CPG) capillaire avec une détection par ionisation de flamme. Le présent document s’applique aux pétroles bruts stabilisés pour déterminer la répartition dans l'intervalle de distillation ainsi que la récupération jusqu'au n-nonane inclus. Un pétrole brut stabilisé est défini comme ayant une pression de vapeur Reid équivalente à 82,7 kPa ou moins, telle que déterminée selon l’IP 481 [3].
L'Annexe C spécifie un algorithme pour fusionner les résultats de la répartition des points d’ébullition obtenus en suivant cette méthode avec ceux obtenus selon l'EN 15199-3. Cela donne une répartition dans l’intervalle de distillation et une récupération jusqu'au C120.
La fidélité présentée dans le présent document est applicable à la répartition dans l’intervalle de distillation jusqu'au n-nonane. Pour la fidélité de la répartition dans l’intervalle de distillation du n-nonane au C120, voir l’EN 15199 3.

EN 15199-4:2021:
— The figures under Annex A have been corrected, complemented and improved for better assisting
the user.
EN 15199 consists of the following parts, under the general title Petroleum products — Determination of
boiling range distribution by gas chromatography method:

EN 15199-4 is compatible with IP 601 [1] and ASTM D7900 [2].
1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the determination of the boiling range distribution of petroleum
products by capillary gas chromatography using flame ionization detection. This document is applicable
to stabilized crude oils and for the boiling range distribution and the recovery up to and including n-
nonane. A stabilized crude oil is defined as having a Reid Vapour Pressure equivalent to or less than
82,7 kPa as determined by IP 481 [3].
Annex C specifies an algorithm for merging the boiling point distribution results obtained using this
method with the results obtained with EN 15199-3. This will result in a boiling range distribution and
recovery up to C120.
This precision presented in this document is applicable to the boiling range distribution up to n-nonane.
For the precision of the boiling range distribution from n-nonane through C120, see EN 15199-3.
NOTE 1 There is no specific precision statement for the combined results obtained after merging the results of
EN 15199-3 and EN 15199-4.
NOTE 2 For the purposes of this document, the terms “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent
respectively the mass fraction, ω, and the volume fraction, φ.
WARNING — The use of this document can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This

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

— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
recovery
combined mass percentages of all light hydrocarbon identified in the chromatogram (except the internal
standard peak) of the sample up to and including n-nonane
4 Principle
An amount of internal standard is quantitatively added to an aliquot of the stabilized crude oil. A portion
of this mixture is injected into a pre-column in series via a splitter with a capillary analytical column.
When the n-nonane has quantitatively passed to the analytical column, the pre-column is back-flushed to
vent the higher boiling components. The individual components are identified by comparison with
reference chromatograms and a database of hydrocarbon compounds (see Annex A). The boiling point
distribution and recovery up to and including n-nonane (n-C9) is calculated.
5 Reagents and materials
5.1 Stationary phase for columns, with a bonded polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stationary phase for
both the pre-column and the analytical capillary column.
5.2 Compressed gases
5.2.1 Carrier gas, helium or hydrogen of at least 99,995 % (V/V) purity or higher is required. Any
oxygen present shall be removed by a suitable chemical filter.
CAUTION — If hydrogen is used as carrier gas, follow the safety instructions from the GC instrument
manufacturer.
5.2.2 Combustion gases, hydrogen and clean air for the flame ionization detector, and suitable filters
shall be used to ensure adequate gas cleanliness.
5.3 Internal standard (I.S.), having a baseline resolution from any adjacent eluting peaks (Hexene-1
or 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene (99 % pure) have been found to be suitable).
5.4 Valve switching mixture, a qualitative mixture of approximately 1 % (m/m) of each normal alkane
from pentane to decane.
5.5 Carbon disulfide (CS ), purity 99,7 % (V/V) minimum.
WARNING — Extremely flammable and toxic by inhalation.
6 Apparatus
6.1 Analytical balance capable of weighing to the nearest 0,1 mg.
6.2 Gas chromatograph.
The typical operational characteristics of the gas chromatograph are described in Table 1.
Two different pre-column configurations are possible.
The first configuration (A) employs a 1 metre column contained in a temperature-controlled valve box,
separately controlled. The valve box in this configuration is isothermal (see Annex B).
The second configuration (B) is a short pre-column (a packed injection port liner), that fits into the
injection port. The injection port will be temperature programmed (see Annex B).
6.3 Flame ionization detector (FID) with sufficient sensitivity to detect 1 % mass n-heptane with a
peak height of at least 10 % full-scale deflection under the conditions given in the method.
When operating at this sensitivity level, detector stability shall be such that a baseline drift of not more
than 1 % per hour is obtained. The detector shall be connected to the column carefully to avoid any cold
spots. The detector shall be capable of operating at a temperature equivalent to the maximum column
temperature used.
