Description

1.1 This test method covers procedures for the determination of total sulfur in petroleum products including lubricating oils containing additives, and in additive concentrates. This test method is applicable to samples boiling above 177 °C (350 °F). Other sulfur concentrations outside of those listed in 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 may be analyzed, but the precision stated may or may not apply. These procedures use IR detection or TCD following combustion in a furnace.

1.1.1 Procedure A, IR Detection:

1.1.1.1 This procedure is applicable to samples containing a mass fraction of sulfur between 0.22 % and 24.2 %.
