BS EN 15199-3:2008 Petroleum products. Determination of boiling range distribution by gas chromatography method. Crude oil

BS EN 15199-3 describes a method for the determination of the boiling range distribution of

petroleum products by capillary gas chromatography using flame ionisation detection. It applies to crude oils. The boiling range distribution and recovery to C100 or C120 can be determined.

BS EN 15199-3 describes two procedures: single and dual analysis mode. The basis of each is a calculation procedure.
