This standard specifies the method for determining the volume fraction of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) in diesel fuel by infrared spectroscopy. The measurement range is that the volume fraction of FAME is about 1.7%~22.7%. For samples whose FAME content exceeds the specified range and other middle distillate oil samples, this method can also be used for determination, but its precision has not been verified. This standard has been proven to be suitable for samples containing FAME that meet the requirements of GB/T 20828. To obtain reliable quantitative data, the sample should not contain significant amounts of other interfering components, especially esters. These interfering components are attractive in the spectral region used in the quantitative analysis of FAME, which can cause the data obtained by this method to be too large. Use of this standard may involve hazardous materials, procedures, and instruments. This standard does not give a description of all safety issues related to its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safeguards and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
