Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 Some process catalysts used in petroleum and chemical refining can be poisoned when trace amounts of sulphur bearing materials are contained in the feedstock’s. This test method can be used to determine sulphur in process feeds, finished products and can also be used for purposes of regulatory control. Generally, the instrument for testing of sulphur comprises of an injection system, horizontal furnace with combustion tube and the detector. Recently, there have been test instruments with vertical furnace, which are capable to test sulphur as low as ppb (µg/kg) levels. The operation and test conditions for testing is provided by the instrument manufacturers. This standard thus provides flexibility to test Sulphur in hydrocarbons at ppb (µg/kg) levels too.
2 The standard covers determination of total Sulphur by two different type of instruments one with horizontal furnace or second with vertical furnace. It has been experienced that instrument with vertical furnace and auto injectors have better precision than the instrument with horizontal furnace. Users can opt for either type of instrument as per the test requirement.
