Overview
EN 13132:2000 is a CEN European Standard for analysis of liquid petroleum products (unleaded petrol). It specifies a gas chromatographic method using column switching to quantify individual organic oxygenate compounds (such as alcohols and ethers used as petrol oxygenates) and to determine total organically bound oxygen in petrol. The method applies to samples with a final boiling point not greater than 220 °C and reports concentrations in mass or volume fractions.
Key topics and requirements
- Analytical technique: Gas chromatography (GC) with column switching to separate and quantify organic oxygenates.
- Quantitative ranges: Individual organic oxygenates measured from 0.17 % (m/m) to 15 % (m/m).
- Total organically bound oxygen: Determination up to 3.7 % (m/m).
- Sample scope: Unleaded petrol with a final boiling point ≤ 220 °C (final boiling point can be measured per prEN ISO 3405:1998).
- Units and notation: The standard clarifies "% (m/m)" as mass fraction and "% (V/V)" as volume fraction.
- Method focus: Accurate separation and quantification of oxygen-containing additives and contaminants in petrol blends using column switching to improve resolution and analytical throughput.
Applications
EN 13132:2000 is intended for practical use in:
- Fuel quality control laboratories verifying oxygenate content in unleaded petrol.
- Refineries and blending terminals monitoring additive concentrations during formulation and shipment.
- Regulatory and conformity testing where limits on oxygenates or total organically bound oxygen are specified.
- Environmental and emission testing groups assessing oxygenate-related impacts on combustion and emissions.
- Standards bodies and certification agencies that need a harmonized GC procedure for inter-laboratory comparability.
Practical benefits include reliable quantification of common petrol oxygenates, support for compliance with fuel specifications, and improved confidence in blending and quality decisions.
