4 Principle
A test portion is introduced into a gas chromatographic column, which separates hydrocarbons in the
order of increasing boiling point. The column temperature is raised at a linear reproducible rate and the
area under the chromatogram is recorded throughout the analysis. Boiling points are assigned to the
time-axis from a calibration curve obtained by running a mixture of known n-alkanes, covering the
sample boiling range, under the same conditions. From these data, the boiling range distribution is
obtained.
Several SIMDIS methods are standardized test methods and each one is dedicated to a certain boiling
point range or product.
EN ISO 3924 [1] is limited to products having an initial boiling point greater than 55 °C, a final boiling
point lower than 538 °C and having a vapour pressure sufficiently low to permit sampling at ambient
temperature.
EN 15199-2 is applicable to materials with initial boiling points (IBP) above 100 °C and final boiling
points (FBP) above 750 °C, for example, heavy distillate fuels and residuals. The method is not
applicable to bituminous samples.
EN 15199-3 is applicable to crude oils. The boiling range distribution and recovery (3.8) up to C or
100
C can be determined.

Cyclohexane (C H )—(>99 % pure) can be used in place of CS for the preparation of the calibration
6 12 2
mixture. However, the precision of this method is based on calibration mixtures, reference material and
samples prepared with CS only.

5.7 Calibration mixture
Dissolve 0,1 g of Polywax (5.5) in 7 ml CS (5.6), warming gently if necessary. Prepare an equal volume
2
mixture of alkanes (5.4) and add 10 µl to the Polywax solution.
NOTE 1 Commercially available alkane standards are suitable for column performance checks.
NOTE 2 The calibration mix is used to determine the column resolution, skewness of the C peak, and
20
retention time versus boiling point calibration curve.
5.8 Reference materials
5.8.1 A reference material has two functions:
— External Standard: to determine the recovery of samples by comparing the total sample area (3.6)
of the reference material with the total sample area (3.5) of the unknown sample;
— Boiling Point Distribution Standard: to check the proper functioning of the system by comparing
the results with a known boiling point distribution on a routine basis. A typical example is given in
(5.8.2).
5.8.2 Reference Material 5010, a reference sample that has been analysed by laboratories
participating in the test method cooperative study. Consensus values for the boiling range distribution
of this sample are given in Table 1.
5.8.3 Binary gravimetric blend, a binary distillate mixture with boiling points ranges that gives a
baseline at the start, a baseline between the two peaks and an end time that is as close to the end of the
chromatogram as possible (see Figure 2 and B.3). This mixture is used to check the relative response of
the two distillates and to check the baselines at the start, middle and end of the chromatogram.

6 Apparatus
6.1 Gas chromatograph, with the following performance characteristics.
6.1.1 Flame ionization detector, connected to the column to avoid any cold spots. The detector shall
be capable of operating at a temperature at least equivalent to the maximum column temperature
employed in the method.
6.1.2 Column temperature programmer, capable of linear programmed temperature operation over
a range of 10 °C above ambient to 450 °C.
6.1.3 Sample inlet system, consisting of a programmable temperature vaporizer (PTV) or cold on-
column (COC) injection port. The maximum temperature of the injection device shall be equal to, or
higher than, the final oven temperature. The minimum temperature shall be low enough to prevent
sample or solvent flashback, but high enough to allow sample focusing at the front of the column.
Table 2 contains the typical operating conditions.
6.2 Column
6.2.1 The capillary column should sit just below the flame tip and it is recommended that the orifice of
the jet should be 0,6 mm minimum to prevent frequent blocking with silicones.
6.2.2 Use a metal column, 0,53 µm internal diameter coated with methyl silicone. Commercially
available columns with film thickness (d ) = 0,09 µm (for analysis up to C ) and (d ) = 0,17 µm (for
f 120 f
analysis up to C ) have been found to be satisfactory.
100
It is recommended that the column resolution, R, is at least 2 and not more than 4 (see B.2).
6.2.3 Use some form of column bleed compensation to obtain a stable baseline. This can be carried out
by subtraction of a column bleed profile previously obtained using exactly the same conditions as used
for the sample analysis, by injecting the same volume, using solvent for the blank run and sample
dilution from one batch taken at the same time, to avoid differences due to contamination.

7 Sampling
Samples shall be taken as specified in EN ISO 3170 or EN ISO 3171 (see the requirements of national
standards or regulations for the sampling of petroleum products for further information).
Store samples in either glass or metal containers. Plastic containers for sample storage shall not be used
as prolonged contact with the sample can cause contamination of the sample due to possible leaching of
the plasticizer.
8 Preparation of the apparatus
8.1 Gas chromatograph preparation
8.1.1 Set up and operate the gas chromatograph (6.1) in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Typical operating conditions are shown in Table 2.
8.1.2 Deposits can form on the jet from combustion of decomposition products from the liquid
stationary phase. These will affect the characteristics of the detector and should be removed.
NOTE The following parameters are affected by deposits on the jet: increase in inlet pressure; FID difficult to
light; increase in the CS response and an off-specification reference material. To clean the jet, an ultrasonic
2
cleaner with a suitable solvent, and a cleaning wire can be used.
8.2 System performance check
Check the system performance at the intervals given and by the procedures specified in Annex B.
9 Sample preparation
Make a mass concentration of 2 % to 3 % solution of the sample in CS (5.6). Transfer to an autosampler
2
vial and immediately cap.
10 Calibration
10.1 It is highly recommended to carry out the steps given in 10.2 to 10.4 each day before sample
analysis. The first run of the day shall not be a blank, a reference material or a sample, due to the
possible elution of extraneous components, which have built up in the injector, but it may be the
calibration mixture (5.7).
10.2 Run the calibration mixture (5.7) as specified in Clause 11.
Take care to ensure the test portion volume chosen does not allow any peak to exceed the linear range
of the detector, or overload the column. Determine the skewness according to Annex B System
Performance (B4). A skew of > 3 indicates the sample is too concentrated and a skew of < 1 indicates an
old column or dirty liner. As a guide, 1 µl of the calibration mixture (5.7) has been found to be suitable
for columns with film thickness less than 0,17 µm.
10.3 Record the retention time of each component and plot the retention time versus the atmospheric
boiling point for each component to obtain the calibration curve.
NOTE The atmospheric boiling points of the alkanes (5.4 and 5.5) are given in Annex C.

10.4 Run the Reference Material 5010 (5.8.2) using the specified procedure in Clause 11. Calculate the
boiling range distribution of the reference material by the procedures specified in Annex A and
compare this with the consensus values for the reference material used.
If the results are not within the specified range, it is advised to carefully follow the manufacturer’s
instructions regarding chromatographic problem solving and related diagnostics.
11 Procedure
11.1 Run a solvent (blank) baseline analysis before the first sample analysis, and then after every five
samples. Using the data system, merge the blank baselines and the subsequent analyses and observe the
last part of the chromatogram. The baseline shall look like example a in Figure 5.
a) good baseline b) bad baseline c) bad baseline
merging parallel crossing
(high FBP) (Low FBP)
Figure 5 — Baselines
The peak shape of the CS and the identification of a constant baseline at the end of the run is critical to
2
the analysis. Constant attention shall be given to all factors that influence the peak shape and the
baseline stability, e.g. column substrate bleed, septum bleed, detector temperature control, constancy of
carrier gas (5.1) flow, leaks and instrument drift. The peak shape of the CS is influenced by the
2
cleanliness of the liner and or the connection between the column and the liner (Figure 6). The baseline

analysis sequence to monitor the instruments performance during the sequence.
12 Visual inspection of the chromatograms
Using the data system, expand the chromatogram of the reference or sample, by 5 times. Merge the
blank baseline and observe the following points:
The start of the area of interest is taken at a point on the baseline where the blank and the sample
baselines are merged. This is taken before the start of the sample and after the end of the solvent.
The end of the area of interest is taken at a point on the baseline where the blank and the sample
baselines are merged. This is taken after the end of the sample and at or before the end of run.
The start of the sample is determined as given in A.5.
The end of the sample is determined as given in A.6.
13 Calculation
Use the calculation protocol given in Annex A for the calculation of the results.
14 Expression of results
Report the tabulated results as follows:
a) report all temperatures to the nearest 1 °C;
b) report all percentages to the nearest 1 % (m/m);
c) report the 0,5 % (m/m) point as the initial boiling point (3.1), and the 99,5 % (m/m) point as the
final boiling point (3.2);
d) report intermediate percentages as required, at intervals of not less than 1 % (m/m).
15 Precision

European foreword
This document (prEN 15199-1:2019) 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.
EN 15199 consists of the following parts, under the general title Petroleum products — Determination of
boiling range distribution by gas chromatography method:
— Part 1: Middle distillates and lubricating base oils
— Part 2: Heavy distillates and residual fuels
— Part 3: Crude oil
— Part 4: Light fractions of crude oil
This part of the standard describes the determination of boiling range distribution of materials with
initial boiling points (IBP) above 100 °C and final boiling points (FBP) below 750 °C. For testing
materials with initial boiling points (IBP) above 100 °C and final boiling point (FBP) above 750 °C,
Part 2 of the standard may be used. For testing materials with initial boiling points (IBP) below 100 °C
and final boiling points (FBP) above 750 °C, such as crude oils, Part 3 may be used.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (EN 15199-1:2006) which is updated
editorially as well as that the precision is extended for the recovery points between 10 % and 50 %.
This part of the standard is based on IP Test Method IP 480 [1] and ASTM Test Method
ASTM D6352 [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. The standard is applicable
to materials having a vapour pressure low enough to permit sampling at ambient temperature and a
boiling range of at least 100 °C. The standard is applicable to distillates with initial boiling points (IBP)
above 100 °C and final boiling points (FBP) below 750 °C, for example, middle distillates and lubricating
base stocks.
The test method is not applicable for the analysis of petroleum or petroleum products containing low
molecular weight components (for example naphtha’s, reformates, gasolines, diesel). Components
containing hetero atoms (for example alcohols, ethers, acids, or esters) or residue are not to be analysed
by this test method.
NOTE For the purposes of this document, the terms “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent
respectively the mass fraction, µ, and the volume fraction, φ.
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 and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

4 Principle
A test portion is introduced into a gas chromatographic column, which separates hydrocarbons in the
order of increasing boiling point. The column temperature is raised at a linear reproducible rate and the
area under the chromatogram is recorded throughout the analysis. Boiling points are assigned to the
time-axis from a calibration curve obtained by running a mixture of known normal alkanes (5.5),
covering the sample boiling range, under the same conditions. From these data, the boiling range
distribution is obtained.
5 Reagents and materials
Unless otherwise stated, only chemicals of recognized analytical quality shall be used.
5.1 Liquid stationary phase, a methyl silicone stationary phase for the column.
5.2 Carrier gas, helium, nitrogen or hydrogen, of at least 99,999 % (V/V) purity. Any oxygen present
is removed by a chemical resin filter.
WARNING — Follow the safety instructions from the filter supplier.
5.3 Hydrogen, grade suitable for flame ionization detectors
5.4 Compressed air, regulated for flame ionization detectors.
5.5 Alkanes, normal alkanes of at least 98 % (m/m) purity from C to C , C , C , C , C , C , C
5 10 12 14 16 18 20 24
and C to be used with Polywax (5.6).

NOTE The calibration mixture from ISO 3924 [3] is also suitable.
5.6 Polywax 655 or 1000
5.7 Carbon disulphide, purity 99,7 % (V/V) minimum.
WARNING — Extremely flammable and toxic by inhalation.
CAUTION — It is recommended that all work with carbon disulphide is carried out in an explosion
protected fume cupboard.
To confirm the suitability of the carbon disulphide (5.7) as a solvent, it is recommended to check elution
profiles (see Figure 2).

prEN 15199-1:2019 (E)
5.8 Calibration mixture
The mixture shall contain at least one normal alkane with a boiling point lower than the IBP of the
sample, and at least one normal alkane with a boiling point higher than the FBP of the sample.
Dissolve 0,1 g of Polywax (5.6) in 7 ml carbon disulphide (5.7), warming gently if necessary. Prepare an
equal volume mixture of alkanes (5.5) and add 10 µl to the Polywax solution.
NOTE 1 Commercially available alkane standards are suitable for column performance checks.
NOTE 2 The calibration mix is used to determine the column resolution, skewness of the C peak, and
20
retention time versus boiling point calibration curve.
5.9 Reference materials (RM)
5.9.1 A reference material has two functions:
— External Standard: to determine the recovery of samples by comparing the total sample area (3.6)
of the reference material with the total sample area (3.6) of the unknown sample;
— Boiling Point Distribution Standard: to check the proper functioning of the system by comparing
the results with a known boiling point distribution on a routine basis. A typical example is given in
(5.9.2).
5.9.2 Reference Material 5010, a reference sample that has been analysed by laboratories
participating in the test method cooperative study. Consensus values for the boiling range distribution
of this sample are given in Table 1.
5.9.3 Cyclohexane. (C H )—(99+ % pure) may be used in place of CS for the preparation of the
6 12 2
calibration mixture.
5.9.4 Binary gravimetric blend, a binary distillate mixture with boiling points ranges that gives a
baseline at the start, a baseline between the two peaks and an end time that is as close to the end of the
chromatogram as possible (see Figure 3 and B.3). This mixture is used to check the relative response of
the two distillates and to check the baselines at the start, middle and end of the chromatogram.

6 Apparatus
6.1 Gas chromatograph, with the following performance characteristics.
6.1.1 Flame ionization detector, connected to the column to avoid any cold spots. The detector shall
be capable of operating at a temperature at least equivalent to the maximum column temperature
employed in the method.
6.1.2 Column temperature programmer, capable of linear programmed temperature operation
over a range of 10 °C above ambient to 450 °C.
6.1.3 Sample inlet system, consisting of a programmable temperature vaporizer (PTV) or cold on-
column (COC) injection port. The maximum temperature of the injection device shall be equal to, or
higher than, the final oven temperature. The minimum temperature shall be low enough to prevent
sample or solvent flashback, but high enough to allow sample focusing at the front of the column.
Table 2 contains the typical operating conditions.

6.2 Column
6.2.1 The capillary column should sit just below the flame tip and it is recommended that the orifice
of the jet should be 0,6 mm minimum to prevent frequent blocking with silicones.
6.2.2 Use a metal column, 0,53 µm id coated with methyl silicone (5.1). Commercially available
columns with film thickness (d ) = 0,09 µm (for analysis up to C ) and (d ) = 0,17 µm (for analysis up
f 120 f
to C ) have been found to be satisfactory. It is recommended that the column resolution, R, is at
100
least 2 and not more than 4 (see B.2).
6.2.3 Use some form of column bleed compensation to obtain a stable baseline.This may be carried
out by subtraction of a column bleed profile previously obtained using exactly the same conditions as
used for the sample analysis, by injecting the same volume, using solvent for the blank run and sample
dilution from one batch taken at the same time, to avoid differences due to contamination.

6.3 Carrier gas control
The chromatograph shall be able to deliver a constant carrier gas (5.2) flow over the whole temperature
range of the analysis.
6.4 Micro-syringe, of appropriate volume, e.g. 10 µl, for introduction of 1 µl of the calibration
mixture and test portions. Plunger in needle syringes are not recommended due to excessive carry over
of heavy ends to the following analysis.
6.5 Volumetric flask, 10 ml capacity.
6.6 Refrigerator, shall be of an explosion-protected design.
6.7 Analytical balance, able to weigh with a precision of 0,1 mg.
7 Sampling
Samples shall be taken as described in EN ISO 3170 or EN ISO 3171. Store samples in either glass or
metal containers. Plastic containers for sample storage shall not be used as prolonged contact with the
sample can cause contamination of the sample due to possible leaching of the plasticizer.
8 Preparation of the apparatus
8.1 Gas chromatograph preparation
8.1.1 Set up and operate the gas chromatograph (6.1) in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Typical operating conditions are shown in Table 2.
8.1.2 Deposits may form on the jet from combustion of decomposition products from the liquid
stationary phase (5.1). These will affect the characteristics of the detector and should be removed.
NOTE The following parameters are affected by deposits on the jet: increase in inlet pressure; FID difficult to
light; increase in the CS response and an off-specification reference material. To clean the jet, an ultrasonic
2
cleaner with a suitable solvent, and a cleaning wire can be used.
8.2 System performance check
Check the system performance at the intervals given and by the procedures specified in Annex B.
9 Sample preparation
Make a 2 % (m/V) to 3 % (m/V) solution of the sample in carbon disulphide (5.7). Transfer to an
autosampler vial and immediately cap.
10 Calibration
10.1 It is highly recommended to carry out the steps given in 10.2 to 10.4 each day before sample
analysis. The first run of the day shall not be a blank, a reference material or a sample, due to the
possible elution of extraneous components, which have built up in the injector, but it may be the
calibration mixture (5.8).

10.2 Run the calibration mixture (5.8) using the specified procedure described in Clause 11.
Take care to ensure the test portion volume chosen does not allow any peak to exceed the linear range
of the detector, or overload the column. A skew of > 3 indicates the sample is too concentrated and a
skew of < 1 indicates an old column or dirty liner. As a guide, 1 µl of the calibration mixture (5.8) has
been found to be suitable for columns with film thickness less than 0,17 µm.
10.3 Record the retention time of each component and plot the retention time versus the atmospheric
boiling point for each component to obtain the calibration curve.
NOTE The atmospheric boiling points of the alkanes are given in Annex C.
A typical chromatogram of the calibration mixture (5.8) is given in Figure 4 and a typical calibration
curve is given in Figure 5.

10.4 Run the Reference Material 5010 (5.9.2) using the specified procedure in Clause 11. Calculate the
boiling range distribution of the reference material by the procedures specified in Annex A and compare
this with the consensus values for the reference material used.
11 Procedure
11.1 Run a solvent (blank) baseline analysis before the first sample analysis, and then after every five
samples. Subtract blank baselines from subsequent analyses (see Figure 6).
a) good baseline b) bad baseline c) bad baseline

(high FBP) (Low FBP)
Figure 6 — Baselines
The identification of a constant baseline at the end of the run is critical to the analysis. Constant
attention shall be given to all factors that influence baseline stability, e.g. column substrate bleed,
septum bleed, detector temperature control, constancy of carrier gas (5.2) flow, leaks and instrument
drift. The baseline at the end of each analysis shall merge with the baseline of the blank run associated
with it. Both signals shall merge to confirm integrity; if they do not, the analysis shall be repeated.
Users are recommended to use in addition blank validation or rejection criteria proposed by simulated
distillation software.
11.2 Run the calibration and the reference sample according to Clause 10 under the same analysis
circumstances, see Table 2.
