- Scope
This test method can be used to determine the amount of alkyl nitrate that has been added to diesel fuel to improve Cetane Number. The test method is applicable as a basis for judging compliance with specifications covering any alkyl nitrate.
1.1 This test method covers a procedure for the determination of 0.03 to 0.30 volume % of alkyl nitrate in diesel fuels.
1.2 This test method can be used for the determination of any alkyl nitrate in diesel fuel provided that standards used for calibration contain the same alkyl nitrate ester as the test specimens to be analyzed.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazard statements, see Section 7.
