Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. The methodology described in this document is based on EN ISO 20884 [1] and EN 15485 [2]. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

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. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO 3170, Petroleum liquids - Manual sampling (ISO 3170) EN ISO 3171, Petroleum liquids - Automatic pipeline sampling (ISO 3171) EN ISO 22854, Liquid petroleum products - Determination of hydrocarbon types and oxygenates in automotive-motor gasoline and in ethanol (E85) automotive fuel - Multidimensional gas chromatography method (ISO 22854) 3 Principle The sample under analysis is exposed in a sample cell to the primary radiation of an X-ray tube. The count rates of the S K-L2,3. X-ray fluorescence and the count rate of the background radiation are measured. The correlation between the pulse rate and the concentration is calculated by software. The matrix effects are compensated either on the basis of fundamental parameters or using a correction table. The sulfur content is then determined using this calibration. 4 Reagents and materials 4.1 General Compounds with a minimum purity of 99 % (m/m) as in 4.2 to 4.4. Where the purity of these compounds is less than 99 % (m/m), the concentrations and nature of all impurities shall be established. A correction for chemical impurity may be applied when the sulfur content is known with accuracy. Certified reference materials (CRMs) from accredited suppliers are suitable alternatives to the compounds listed in 4.2 to 4.4. 4.2 Dibutylsulfide, of nominal sulfur content 21,92 % (m/m), or dibutyldisulfide, of nominal sulfur content 35,95 % (m/m), used as a calibrating substance for sulfur. SIST EN 16997:2017



EN 16997:2017 (E) 5 4.3 Ethanol absolute, of a purity not less than 99 %, for use as a compound of the blank solution (7.2), high purity grade, with a sulfur content < 1 mg/kg. Check the blank solution (7.2) prior to use with the spectrometer (5.1). A signal for sulfur shall not be detectable. 4.4 n-Heptane, of a purity not less than 99 %, for use as a compound of the blank solution (7.2), high purity grade, with a sulfur content < 1 mg/kg. Check the blank solution (7.2) prior to use with the spectrometer (5.2). A signal for sulfur shall not be detectable. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Software to set up a calibration and for the application to the fundamental parameter method of calculating the corresponding correction factor for the varying ethanol content in the sample in the calibration and the in use of such a calibration during the evaluation of samples. The software can be part of the device software, separate software is also possible. If software for the application of the fundamental parameter method isn’t available, the correction table (Table 3) may be used. The correction factors of Table 3 are only applicable for monochromatic excitation. 5.2 Wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, with the capability for measuring the count rates of the S K-L2,3 X-ray fluorescence radiation and the background radiation. Due to the inherently low background radiation produced by instruments utilizing monochromatic radiation for excitation, it is not mandatory to measure the background radiation when this type of instrument is used. The minimum requirements for the spectrometer are given in Table 1. 5.3 Analytical balance, capable of weighing to the nearest 0,1 mg. 6 Sampling Unless otherwise specified, laboratory samples shall be obtained by the procedures described in EN ISO 3170 or EN ISO 3171. Samples should be analysed as soon as possible after removal from bulk supplies to prevent loss of sulfur. Thoroughly mix samples in their containers prior to withdrawal of the test portions. IMPORTANT — Particular attention should be paid to avoid contamination of sampling bottles from phosphorus containing detergents and thus to prevent the risk of interference with sulfur.
