This International Standard specifies an energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) test method for the determination of the sulfur content of motor gasolines, including those containing up to 2,7%(m/m) oxygen, and of diesel fuels, including those containing up to 5%(V/V) fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), having sulfur contents in the range 30mg/kg to 500mg/kg. Other products may be analysed and other sulfur contents may be determined according to this test method; however, no precision data for products other than automotive fuels and for results outside the specified range have been established for this International Standard. For reasons of spectral overlap, this International Standard is not applicable to leaded motor gasolines, lead-replacement gasolines containing 8mg/kg potassium to 20mg/kg potassium, or to products and feedstocks containing lead, silicon, phosporus, calcium, potassium or halides at concentrations greater than one-tenth of the concentration of sulfur measured.

NOTE For the purposes of this International Standard, the terms “%(m/m)” and “%(V/V)” are used to represent the mass fraction and the volume fraction of a material, respectively.
