Scope

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the percentage of benzene in spark-ignition engine fuels. It is applicable to concentrations from 0.1 to 5 volume %.

1.2 SI units of measurement are preferred and used throughout this standard.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Significance and Use

Benzene is a compound that endangers health, and the concentration is limited by environmental protection agencies to produce a less toxic gasoline.

This test method is fast, simple to run, and inexpensive.

This test method is applicable for quality control in the production and distribution of spark-ignition engine fuels.
