Standardized test methods

Fuel testing by standard methodology helps ensure that the product meets internationally recognized quality standards. We offer standardized tests by EN, ISO, and ASTM methods, including EN 228 testing package for gasoline, ISO 22241 testing for AdBlue, and EN 590 testing package for diesel.

The standard quality analysis packages for gasoline and diesel cover a wide range of parameters, including cetane number, density, viscosity, cloud point, and distillation characteristics. We also offer analyses for assessing various solid recovered fuel (SRF) quality parameters, including calorific value, ash content, and elemental contaminant concentrations.

Testing of natural gas and biogas

Natural gas and biogas analysis

Identifying and quantifying different contaminants in natural gas, biogas, and other fuel gases is a central part of gas testing. Analysis options include, for example, sulfur compound, siloxane, and volatile organic compound (VOC) screening. Testing is most often performed using either gas chromatography or GC-MS (the combination of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry).

Volatile organic compound (VOC) content of biogas

With this analysis, the volatile organic compounds (VOC) present in a biogas sample can be quantified. Typically, the boiling range of the detected VOCs is 60-280 °C. Samples are collected using a pump and an adsorbent tube. The analysis uses GC methods and external standard materials to identify and quantify the compounds. Samples to be delivered in gas sampling bags (2 liters in volume). The cylinder gas samples will include additional logistics fees.

Composition of natural- and biogas

Quantification of CH4 (methane), CO2 (carbon dioxide), O2 (oxygen), N2 (nitrogen), H2S (hydrogen sulfide), and H2O (water) in natural- and biogas samples with gas chromatography. Additional possibilities to analyze siloxanes (hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D3), octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5), hexamethyldisiloxane (L2), octamethyltrisiloxane (L3), decamethyltetrasiloxane (L4), dodecamethylpentasiloxane (L5), and trimethylsilanol (SiOH)) as well as ammonia (NH3, using IC). The base package includes the quantification of CH4, CO2, O2, N2, H2S, and H2O. Please contact Measurlabs experts to check other sample vessel suitability for the analysis.

Biobased content analysis of fuel

Consumers and industrial buyers are increasingly on the lookout for more sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels, which in turn increases the demand for biomass-based fuels. Biobased content testing and certification provide concrete evidence of the degree to which the fuel is composed of biobased raw materials. 

The proportion of biobased carbon can be determined using the ASTM D6866 and EN 16640 methods. For a more comprehensive measurement that accounts for all elements, standard EN 16785-1 is used.
