IP PM EO: Determination of Olefin content - High resolution Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy method

Overview:

Scope

This method covers the determination olefin content of hydrocarbon oils. These include crude oils, heavy fuel oils, middle distillates: diesels with and without biodiesel (including any contribution from olefins in biodiesel), gasoline: E5 and E2 gasoline and other hydrocarbon mixtures typically encountered in petroleum refining operations, which are completely soluble in chloroform. The method is for Fourier transform (FT) spectrometers.

The method has not been tested for continuous wave (CW) instruments.
