1.1 This Standard is applicable to the measurement of total sulfur content in crude oil, the applicable measuring range is 0.0150 ~ 5.00 mass % sulfur.
1.2 This Standard is applicable to the crude oil sample with a water mass fraction not exceed 0.5%. For the crude oil sample with a water mass fraction exceed 0.5%, dehydration may be carried out on the base of no destruction on the integrity of sample. Water content of crude oil can be determined in accordance with GB/T 8929-2006
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The preferred concentration units are mass % sulfur.
1.4 This Standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, It is the responsibility of the users to establish appropriate safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations. For specific warning statements, see Chapter 5.
