1、Designation:D633412Standard Test Method forSulfur in Gasoline by Wavelength Dispersive X-RayFluorescence1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6334;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revis
2、ion.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the quantitative determinationof total sulfur in gasoline and gasoline-oxygenate blends.ThePooled Limit of Q
3、uantitation(PLOQ)was determined to be 15mg/kg.Therefore,the practical range for this test method isfrom 15 to 940 mg/kg.NOTE1This concentration range is based on that used in theinterlaboratory round robin,which shows that the range of sulfur in theround robin samples was from 1.5 to 940 mg/kg;howev
4、er,below 15mg/kg,the reproducibility approaches 100%of the concentration.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the
5、 applica-bility of regulatory limitation prior to use.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The preferred units are mg/kg sulfur.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D2622 Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum Products byWavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spect

10、 of 5.190,or if a rhodium tube is used,5.437,is subtracted from this intensity.The resultant netcounting rate is then compared to a previously preparedcalibration curve or equation to obtain the concentration ofsulfur in mg/kg.(WarningExposure to excessive quantitiesof X radiation is injurious to he
11、alth.Therefore,it is imperativethat the operator avoid exposing any part of his or her person,not only to primary X-rays,but also to secondary or scatteredradiation that might be present.The X-ray spectrometer shouldbe operated in accordance with the regulations of recommen-dations governing the use
12、 of ionizing radiation.)4.Significance and Use4.1 Knowledge of the presence of sulfur in petroleumproducts,especiallyfuels,helpspredictperformancecharacteristics,potential corrosion problems,and vehicle emis-sion levels.In addition,some regulatory agencies mandatereduced levels of sulfur in reformul
