3、nse.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of the tracetotal nitrogen naturally found in liquid hydrocarbons boiling inthe range from approximately 50 C to 400 C,with viscositiesbetween approximately 0.2 cSt and 10 cSt(mm2/s)at roomtemperature.This test method is applicable to naphtha
4、s,distillates,and oils containing 0.3 mg kg to 100 mg kg totalnitrogen.For liquid hydrocarbons containing more than100 mgkg total nitrogen,Test Method D5762 can be moreappropriate.This test method has been successfully applied,during interlaboratory studies,to sample types outside therange of the sc

11、either by syringe or boat inlet system,into a stream ofinert gas(helium or argon).The sample is vaporized andcarried to a high temperature zone where oxygen is introducedand organically bound nitrogen is converted to nitric oxide(NO).The NO contacts ozone,and is converted to excitednitrogen dioxide(
12、NO2).The light emitted as the excited NO2decays is detected by a photomultiplier tube and the resultingsignal is a measure of the nitrogen contained in the sample.4.Significance and Use4.1 Some process catalysts used in petroleum and chemicalrefining may be poisoned when even trace amounts of nitrog
