Abstract

This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the chlorine and bromine content of liquid

petroleum products, synthetic oils and fluids, and additives for petroleum products (including used oils) that are

soluble in organic solvents of negligible or accurately known chlorine/bromine content. The method is applicable to

products or additives having chlorine contents in the range 0,0005 % (m/m) to 0,1000% (m/m), and bromine

contents in the range 0,0010 % (m/m) to 0,1000% (m/m). Other elements do not generally interfere, although lead

may interfere at contents above 0,1500 % (m/m) (see note 2).

NOTE 1 For the purposes of this International Standard, the term "% (m/m)" is used to represent the mass fraction of a

material.

NOTE 2 Used lubricants may pose particular problems due to the range of potentially interfering elements at relatively high

concentrations. For used lubricants generally, the lower limit of sensitivity may be 0,0050 % (m/m) even when the provisions of

the last paragraph of 9.3 are applied.

This standard contributes to the following Sustainable Development Goal
