BS EN 15199-4 specifies a method for the determination of the boiling range distribution of petroleum products by capillary gas chromatography using flame ionization detection.
A stabilized crude oil is defined as having a Reid Vapour Pressure equivalent to or less than 82,7 kPa.
NOTE 1: There is no specific precision statement for the combined results obtained after merging the results of EN 15199-3 and EN 15199-4. For the precision of the boiling range distribution up to n-nonane, the precision statement of EN 15199-4 applies. For the precision of the boiling range distribution from n-nonane through C120, the precision of EN 15199-3 applies.
NOTE 2: For the purposes of BS EN-15199-4, the terms “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent respectively the mass fraction, ω, and the volume fraction, φ.
BS EN 15199-4 on Light fractions of crude oil is beneficial for:
Petroleum products are materials derived from crude oil (petroleum), as it is processed in oil refineries.
BS EN 15199-4 is used in combination with an analysis of boiling point distribution (Simdis) of crude oil.
BS EN 15199-4 is applicable to stabilized crude oils and for the boiling range distribution and the recovery up to and including n-nonane.
