Petroleum products and related materials - Determination of hydrocarbon types - Fluorescent indicator adsorption method

This European Standard specifies a fluorescent indicator adsorption method for the determination of hydrocarbon types over the concentration ranges from 5 % (V/V) to 99 % (V/V) aromatic hydrocarbons, 0,3 % (V/V) to 55 % (V/V) olefins, and 1 % (V/V) to 95 % (V/V) saturated hydrocarbons in petroleum fractions that distil below 315 oC. This method may apply to concentrations outside these ranges, but the precision has not been determined.
When samples containing oxygenated blending components are analysed, the hydrocarbon type results can be reported on an oxygenate-free basis or, when the oxygenate content is known, the results can be corrected to a total-sample basis.
This test method is for use with full boiling range products. Cooperative data have established that the precision statement does not apply to petroleum fractions with narrow boiling ranges near the 315 °C limit. Such samples are not eluted properly, and results are erratic.
Samples containing dark-coloured components that interfere with reading the chromatographic bands cannot be analysed.
NOTE 1   The oxygenated blending components methanol, ethanol, tert-butyl methyl ether (MTBE), methyl tert-pentyl ether (TAME) and tert-butyl ethyl ether (ETBE) do not interfere with the determination of hydrocarbon types at concentrations normally found in commercial petroleum blends. These oxygenated compounds are not detected since they elute with the alcohol desorbent. The effects of other oxygenated compounds should be individually verified.
NOTE 2   For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent respectively the mass fraction and the volume fraction.
WARNING — The use of this European Standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This European Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices

Mineralölerzeugnisse und verwandte Produkte - Bestimmung der Kohlenwasserstofftypen - Adsorptionsverfahren mit Fluoreszenz-Indikator

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren mit Fluoreszenz-Indikator Adsorption fest für die Bestimmung der nachfolgend genannten Kohlenwasserstofftypen in Mineralölfraktionen, die unterhalb von 315 °C sieden, und zwar für aromatische Kohlenwasserstoffe im Bereich von 5 % (V/V) bis 99 % (V/V), für olefinische Kohlenwasserstoffe im Bereich von 0,3 % (V/V) bis 55 % (V/V) und für gesättigte Kohlenwasserstoffe im Bereich von 1 % (V/V) bis 95 % (V/V).
Das Prüfverfahren kann auch auf Produkte mit Gehalten außerhalb der angegebenen Konzentrationsbereiche angewendet werden, jedoch sind für solche Produkte keine Angaben zur Präzision vorhanden.
Für Proben, die sauerstoffhaltige Verbindungen enthalten, können die Kohlenwasserstofftypen ohne  Berücksichtigung der sauerstoffhaltigen Verbindungen, (d. h. bezogen auf den sauerstoffverbindungsfreien Probenanteil) angegeben werden, oder aber, wenn der Gehalt an sauerstoffhaltigen Verbindungen bekannt ist, auch nach entsprechender Umrechnung mit Bezug auf die Gesamtprobe.
Dieses Prüfverfahren kann angewendet werden auf Proben, die den gesamten  angegebenen Siedebereich überstreichen. Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass die Präzisionsangaben nicht gelten für engsiedende Mineralölfraktionen nahe der angegebenen Grenze von 315 °C. Solche Proben werden nicht ordnungsgemäß eluiert und führen daher zu fehlerhaften Ergebnissen.
Proben, die dunkel gefärbte Komponenten enthalten, welche die Auswertung der chromatographischen Zonen stören, können mit diesem Prüfverfahren nicht untersucht werden.
ANMERKUNG 1   Die sauerstoffhaltigen Blendkomponenten Methanol, Ethanol, tert-Butylmethylether (MTBE), Methyl-tert-pentylether (TAME, tert-Amylmethylether) und tert-Butylethylether (ETBE) stören mit für kommerzielle Kraftstoffmischungen üblichen Gehalten die Bestimmung nicht. Diese Blendkomponenten werden nicht erfasst, weil sie zusammen mit dem Laufmittel eluieren.

EN 15553:2007 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 15553:2007) 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 European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2007, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2007. This European Standard is based on IP 156/06 [1]. It is developed as an alternative method to ASTM D1319 [2], in which a de-pentanization step is described, which is not used in this European Standard and the EU environment. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

EN 15553:2007 (E) 5 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 saturates saturated hydrocarbons volume percentage of alkanes plus cycloalkanes 3.2 olefins olefinic hydrocarbons volume percentage of alkenes plus cycloalkenes plus some alkadienes 3.3 aromatics aromatic hydrocarbons volume percentage of monocyclic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons plus aromatic olefinic hydrocarbons, some dienes, compounds containing sulfur or nitrogen, or higher-boiling oxygenated compounds 4 Principle Approximately 0,75 ml of sample is introduced into a special glass adsorption column packed with activated silica gel. A small layer of the silica gel contains a mixture of fluorescent dyes. When all the sample has been adsorbed onto the gel, alcohol is added to desorb the sample down the column. The hydrocarbons are separated, according to their adsorption affinities, into aromatics, olefins and saturates. The fluorescent dyes are also separated selectively with the hydrocarbon types, and render the boundaries of the aromatic, olefin and saturate zones visible under ultraviolet light. The volume percentage of each hydrocarbon type is calculated from the length of each zone in the column. 5 Reagents and materials Use only chemicals and reagents of recognised analytical grade and water conforming to grade 3 of EN ISO 3696. 5.1 Silica gel, manufactured to conform to the specifications given in Annex A. NOTE 1 Grace Davison silica gel Grade 923 meets the requirements of this specification. Before use, dry the gel in a shallow vessel at 175 ºC for at least 3 h. Transfer the dried gel to an airtight container while still hot, and protect it from atmospheric moisture. NOTE 2 Some batches of silica gel that otherwise meet specifications have been found to produce olefin-boundary fading. The exact reason for this phenomenon is unknown but will affect accuracy and precision. 5.2 Fluorescent indicator-dyed gel, a standard dyed gel, consisting of a mixture of re-crystallized Petrol Red AB4 and purified portions of olefin and aromatic dyes obtained by chromatographic adsorption following a definite, uniform procedure, and deposited on silica gel1). Store the dyed gel in a dark place under an atmosphere of nitrogen. NOTE When stored under these conditions, dyed gel can have a shelf life of at least five years. It is recommended that portions of the dyed gel be transferred as required to a smaller working vial from which the dyed gel is routinely taken for analyses.

NOTE A special valve with possibility to regulate this pressure to ± 2 kPa. (see Error! Reference source not found.2) is advised as common valves do not always have this possibility. 6 Apparatus 6.1 Adsorption column, with precision bore tubing conforming to the specification given in Table 1 and as shown in Figure 1, part b), made of glass and consisting of a charger section with a capillary neck, a separator section and an analyzer section. NOTE For routine/non-specification compliance analysis adsorption columns with standard wall tubing conforming to the specification given in Annex B and as shown in Figure 1, part a), may be used. In addition, the length of a thread of liquid approximately 100 mm long, which shall not vary in length by more than 0,3 mm in any part of the analyzer section.
