Abstract:
A new ASTM standard test method has been developed to provide a suitable alternative to D1319 and ASTM D1840. In the jet fuel range, mono-aromatics and diaromatics all have distinct VUV absorbance spectra which allow them to be deconvolved from one another in a complex matrix. The GC-VUV method ASTM D8267 can analyze jet fuel in a 14-minute run and a 60-second automated quantitation, reporting total aromatics, monoaromatics, and diaromatics, addressing the challenges faced with ASTM D1319 & ASTM D1840. Also capable of analyzing biodiesel and aromatic content in diesel fuels, the VUV Analyzer™ Platform is a powerful solution with the ability to run different types of fuels and different methods all without changes to hardware or set up, reducing the overall runtime, automating analysis and reducing the cost per sample.
