Gasoline testing package according to EN 228 standard
Standard EN 228 outlines the testing requirements and methods for gasoline quality testing. The following tests are included in the package: • RON (EN ISO 5164), min. 95 • MON (EN ISO 5163), min. 85 • Lead content (EN 237), max. 5 mg/l • Density at 15 °C (EN ISO 12185), 720-775 kg/m3 • Sulphur content (EN ISO 20846), max. 10 mg/kg • Manganese content (EN 16136), max. 2 mg/l • Oxidation stability (EN ISO 7536), min. 360 minutes • Washed gum content (EN ISO 6246), max. 5 mg/100ml • Copper corrosion (EN ISO 2160), class 1 • Appearance (ASTM D4176), bright and clear • Hydrocarbon composition (benzene, aromatics, olefins, oxygenates, and calculated oxygen content, EN ISO 22854), benzene max. 1 v%, aromatics max. 35 v%, olefins max. 18 v%, oxygenates* • Vapor pressure at 37.8 °C (DVPE, EN 13016-1), for volatility class A: 45-60 kPa, B: 45-70 kPa, C: 50-80 kPa, D: 60-90 kPa, E: 65-95 kPa, and F: 70-100 kPa. • Distillation (E70, E100, E150, FBP, and distillation residue, EN ISO 3405), E70 22 or 24 - 50 or 52 v% (depending on volatility class ), E100 46 - 72 v% and E150 min. 75 v%, FBP max. 210 °C, and distillation residue max. 2 v% * For gasoline with max. 3.7 m% of oxygen allowed oxygenate content are methanol 3 v%, ethanol 10 v%, iso-propanol 12 v%, iso-butanol 15 v%, tert-butanol 15 v%, ethers with five or more carbon atoms 22 v%, and other oxygenates 15 v%. For gasoline with max. 2.7 m% of oxygen allowed oxygenate content are methanol 3 v% and ethanol 5 v%. Other oxygenates are restricted to 2.7 m% maximum oxygen content of gasoline.
