Petroleum products - Determination of carbon residue - Micro method (ISO 10370:2014)

ISO 10370:2014 specifies a method for the determination of the amount of carbon residue, in the range 0,10 % (m/m) to 30,0 % (m/m), left after evaporation and pyrolysis of petroleum products under specified conditions.
NOTE 1       The carbon residue value serves as an approximation of the tendency of petroleum products to form carbonaceous deposits under similar degradation conditions, and may be useful in the assessment of relative carbon-forming tendencies of products within the same class. In this case, care should be taken in the interpretation of results.
For products which yield a residue in excess of 0,10 % (m/m), the test results are equivalent to those obtained by the Conradson carbon residue test (see ISO 6615[1]) in the range of 0,10 (m/m) to 25,0 (m/m) (for details see Annex A).
This International Standard is also applicable to petroleum products which consist essentially of distillate material, and which may yield a carbon residue below 0,10 % (m/m). On such materials, a 10 % (V/V) distillation residue is prepared by the procedure described in 7.3.1 and 7.3.2 before analysis.
Both ash-forming constituents, as defined by ISO 6245[2] and non-volatile additives present in the sample add to the carbon residue value and are included in the total value reported.
NOTE 2       The presence of organic nitrates incorporated in certain distillate fuels will yield abnormally high values for the carbon residue. The presence of alkyl nitrate in the fuel may be detected by ISO 13759.[3]

Mineralölerzeugnisse - Bestimmung des Koksrückstandes - Mikroverfahren (ISO 10370:2014)

Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Koksrückstandsmenge im Bereich von 0,10 % (m/m) bis 30,0 % (m/m) fest, die nach einer Verdampfung und Pyrolyse von Mineralölerzeugnissen unter festgelegten Bedingungen übrigbleibt.
ANMERKUNG 1 Der Wert des Koksrückstands dient als ein Annäherungswert für die Tendenz von Mineralöl-erzeugnissen unter ähnlichen Zersetzungsbedingungen kohlenstoffhaltige Ablagerungen zu bilden, und kann für die Bewertung der relativen koksbildenden Tendenzen von Erzeugnissen derselben Klasse nützlich sein. In diesem Fall sollten die Ergebnisse sorgfältig ausgewertet werden.
Für Erzeugnisse mit einer Rückstandsmenge von mehr als 0,10 % (m/m) sind die Prüfergebnisse gleich denen, die mittels Conradson-Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Koksrückstands (siehe Referenz [1]) im Bereich von 0,10 % (m/m) bis 0,25 % (m/m) erhalten werden (in Bezug auf Einzelheiten siehe Anhang A).
Diese Internationale Norm gilt auch für Mineralölerzeugnisse, die hauptsächlich aus Destillaten bestehen und die einen Koksrückstand unter 0,10 % (m/m) aufweisen können. Bei diesen wird vor der Analyse mittels dem in 7.3.1 und 7.3.2 beschriebenen Verfahren ein Destillationsrückstand von 10 % (V/V) hergestellt.
Sowohl aschebildende Komponenten nach ISO 6245 als auch in der Probe vorhandene nichtflüchtige Additive/Zusätze tragen zum Koksrückstandswert bei und werden im berichteten Gesamtwert berücksichtigt.
ANMERKUNG 2 Die Anwesenheit von organischen Nitraten in bestimmten Destillat-Kraft- und Brennstoffen führt zu ungewöhnlich hohen Koksrückstandswerten. Die Anwesenheit von Alkylnitrat kann nach ISO 13759 [2] nachgewiesen werden.

Produits pétroliers - Détermination du résidu de carbone - Méthode micro (ISO 10370:2014)

ISO 10370:2014 spécifie une méthode pour la détermination de la quantité de résidu de carbone obtenue après évaporation et pyrolyse d'un produit pétrolier dans des conditions spécifiques. La méthode s'applique aux produits dont le résidu de carbone est compris entre 0,10 % (m/m) et 30,0 % (m/m).
NOTE 1       La valeur de résidu de carbone donne une idée de la tendance de produits pétroliers à former des dépôts carbonés dans des conditions de dégradation similaires. Elle peut être utile dans l'évaluation des tendances relatives à former des matières carbonées de produits d'une même catégorie. Il est recommandé dans ce cas d'être prudent dans l'interprétation des résultats.
Pour les produits dont le résidu de carbone est supérieur à 0,10 % (m/m), les résultats sont équivalents à ceux obtenus suivant l'essai de résidu de carbone Conradson (voir ISO 6615[1]) dans l'intervalle compris entre 0,10 % (m/m) et 25,0 % (m/m) (pour de plus amples précisions, se reporter à l'Annexe A).
ISO 10370:2014 peut également s'appliquer aux produits pétroliers constitués essentiellement de distillats et dont le résidu de carbone est inférieur à 0,10 % (m/m). Sur de tels produits, un résidu de distillation de 10 % (V/V) est préparé selon le mode opératoire donné en 7.3.1 et 7.3.2 avant analyse.
Les constituants formant des cendres, tels que définis dans l'ISO 6245,[2] ainsi que les additifs non volatils présents dans l'échantillon, augmentent la valeur du résidu de carbone et leur contribution est incluse dans la valeur totale reportée.
NOTE 2       Les nitrates organiques additionnés dans certains combustibles distillés conduisent à des valeurs anormalement élevées de résidu de carbone. La présence de nitrates d'alkyle dans un combustible peut être détectée selon la méthode d'essai ISO 13759[3].

Naftni proizvodi - Določevanje koksnega ostanka - Mikro metoda (ISO 10370:2014)

Ta mednarodni standard določa metodo za določevanje deleža koksnega ostanka,
v razponu od 0,10 % (m/m) do 30,0 % (m/m), ki se ohrani po izparevanju in pirolizi naftnih proizvodov
pod predvidenimi pogoji.
OPOMBA 1: Vrednost koksnega ostanka služi kot približek nagnjenosti naftnih proizvodov k
formiranju ogljikovih nanosov pri podobnih pogojih razpada in je lahko v pomoč pri ocenjevanju relativne nagnjenosti proizvodov k formiranju ogljika znotraj istega razreda. V tem primeru naj bi se posebna pozornost posvetila razlagi rezultatov.
Pri proizvodih z ostankom več kot 0,10 % (m/m) so rezultati preskusov ekvivalentni tistim,
ki so bili pridobljeni s preskusom za določanje koksnega ostanka po Conradsonu (glejte ISO 6615[1]) v razponu od 0,10 (m/m) do 25,0 (m/m) (za podrobnosti glejte dodatek A).
Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja tudi za naftne proizvode, ki so v glavnem sestavljeni iz destilatnih materialov in pri katerih je lahko koksni ostanek pod 0,10 % (m/m). Pri takih materialih
se 10% (V/V) destilacijski ostanek pripravi pred analizo s postopkom, opisanim v točkah 7.3.1 in 7.3.2.
Sestavine v prahu, kot je določeno v standardu ISO 6245[2], in nehlapni aditivi v vzorcu
prispevajo k vrednosti koksnega ostanka in so vključeni v izmerjeni skupni vrednosti.
OPOMBA 2: Prisotnost organskih nitratov, ki so vsebovani v določenih destilatnih gorivih, poskrbi za neobičajno visoke vrednosti koksnega ostanka. Prisotnost alkil nitrata v gorivu se lahko zazna z uporabo standarda ISO 13759.[3]

Overview

EN ISO 10370:2014 - Petroleum products - Determination of carbon residue (micro method) specifies a laboratory micro-method to measure the amount of carbon residue remaining after controlled evaporation and pyrolysis of petroleum products. The method covers residues in the range 0.10 % (m/m) to 30.0 % (m/m) and is widely used as an indicator of a product’s tendency to form carbonaceous deposits under thermal degradation.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Principle: A weighed aliquot of sample is heated to 500 °C under an inert (nitrogen) purge; volatiles are swept away and the remaining carbonaceous residue is weighed.
  • Sample vials: Typical vials are 2 ml (12 mm × ~35 mm). 4 ml vials or larger (≈20 ml) may be used for very low-residue samples to improve measurement sensitivity.
  • Apparatus: Requires a coking oven (controlled heating 10–40 °C/min), nitrogen supply (low O2, ≥ 99.998 % (V/V)), thermocouple (450–550 °C range), analytical balance (0.1 mg sensitivity), and a vial holder.
  • Scope specifics:
    • Applicable to distillate materials; for very volatile distillates a 10 % (V/V) distillation residue can be prepared before analysis.
    • Ash-forming constituents and non‑volatile additives contribute to the reported carbon residue value.
    • Presence of organic/alkyl nitrates may produce anomalously high values (ISO 13759 can be used for detection).
  • Equivalence: For residues >0.10 % (m/m), results are equivalent to the Conradson carbon residue test (ISO 6615) within 0.10–25.0 % (see Annex A).
  • Quality data: Precision information (repeatability and reproducibility) and reporting details are provided in Clauses 12 and 13 of the standard.

Applications and users

  • Quality control in petroleum refining and fuel production to monitor carbon-forming tendency.
  • Fuel suppliers, lubricant manufacturers, and additive developers assessing deposit tendencies and product stability.
  • Research & development and engine testing teams evaluating fuel behavior under pyrolytic conditions.
  • Regulatory and standards laboratories comparing micro-method results with Conradson values.

Practical keywords: carbon residue micro method, ISO 10370:2014, petroleum products testing, Conradson equivalence, nitrogen purge coking oven, distillate residue.

Related standards

  • ISO 6615 - Conradson carbon residue method (reference for equivalence)
  • ISO 6245 - Determination of ash-forming constituents
  • ISO 13759 - Detection of alkyl nitrates in fuels
  • ISO 3405 - Distillation characteristics (used for preparing 10 % V/V residue)

This standard is essential for laboratories performing routine carbon residue testing and for stakeholders evaluating the carbon‑forming tendencies of petroleum-derived products.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 10370:2014(E)
Petroleum products — Determination of carbon residue
— Micro method
WARNING — The use of this International Standard may involve hazardous materials,
operations, and equipment. This International Standard does not purport to address all of the
safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this International
Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of
regulatory limitations prior to use.
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the amount of carbon residue,
in the range 0,10 % (m/m) to 30,0 % (m/m), left after evaporation and pyrolysis of petroleum products
under specified conditions.
NOTE 1 The carbon residue value serves as an approximation of the tendency of petroleum products to
form carbonaceous deposits under similar degradation conditions, and may be useful in the assessment of
relative carbon-forming tendencies of products within the same class. In this case, care should be taken in the
interpretation of results.
For products which yield a residue in excess of 0,10 % (m/m), the test results are equivalent to those
[1]
obtained by the Conradson carbon residue test (see ISO 6615 ) in the range of 0,10 (m/m) to 25,0 (m/m)
(for details see Annex A).
This International Standard is also applicable to petroleum products which consist essentially of
distillate material, and which may yield a carbon residue below 0,10 % (m/m). On such materials, a
10 % (V/V) distillation residue is prepared by the procedure described in 7.3.1 and 7.3.2 before analysis.
[2]
Both ash-forming constituents, as defined by ISO 6245 and non-volatile additives present in the sample
add to the carbon residue value and are included in the total value reported.
NOTE 2 The presence of organic nitrates incorporated in certain distillate fuels will yield abnormally high
[3]
values for the carbon residue. The presence of alkyl nitrate in the fuel may be detected by ISO 13759.
