This International Standard specifies a method for
the determination of thiol (mercaptan) sulfur in
light distillates, such as gasolines and naphtha fractions,
and middle distillate fuels, such as
kerosines and gas oils, in the range of 0,000 3 %
(m/m) to 0,0100 % (m/m) (3 mg.kg to 100 mg/kg).
Organic sulfur compounds such as sulfides, disulfides
and thiophene do not interfere.
Elemental sulfur does not interfere at contents
less than 0,000 5 % (m/m). Hydrogen sulfide
interferes, if not removed as described in 8.2.
NOTE For the purposes of this International Standard,
the term "% (m/m)" is used to represent the mass
fraction of a material.
