Liquid petroleum products - Unleaded petrol - Determination of benzene content by gas chromatography
This European Standard specifies a column switching gas chromatographic method for the quantitative determination of benzene content in the range 0,05% (V/V) to 6% (V/V) in unleaded petrol having a final boiling point not greater than 220°C. The method described in this standard is suitable for determining benzene in petrol, including petrol containing oxygenates, in line with the relevant EC Directives. Warning: The use of this standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use.
Flüssige Mineralölerzeugnisse - Unverbleite Ottokraftstoffe - Bestimmung des Benzolgehaltes mittels Gaschromatographie
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein gaschromatographisches Verfahren mittels Säulenschaltung fest, zur quantitativen Bestimmung des Benzolgehaltes im Bereich von 0,05% bis 6% Volumenanteilen in unverbleite Ottokraftstoff, dessen Siedeende nicht höher ist als 220°C. Das in dieser Norm beschriebene Verfahren ist geeignet zur Bestimmung von Benzol in Ottokraftstoffen einschließlich Ottokraftstoffen, die sauerstoffhaltige organische Verbindungen enthalten, in Übereinstimmung mit den relevanten EG-Richtlinien.
Produits pétroliers liquides - Essence sans plomb - Détermination de la teneur en benzène par chromatographie en phase gazeuse
La présente norme européenne prescrit une méthode par chromatographie gazeuse à commutation de colonnes pour la détermination quantitative de la teneur en benzène à des niveaux entre 0,05% (V/V) et 6% (V/V) dans les essences sans plomb dont le point d'ébullition final est au maximum de 220°C. La méthode décrite par cette norme convient pour la détermination de la teneur en benzène de l'essence, y compris dans les essences contenant des produits oxygénés conformément à la Directive correspondante de la CEE.
