ASTM D5762

Standard Test Method for Nitrogen in Liquid Hydrocarbons, Petroleum and Petroleum Products by Boat-Inlet Chemiluminescence

Applicability: ASTM D5762 is a standard test method for determining nitrogen content in liquid hydrocarbons, petroleum, and petroleum products, primarily for production plant control (QC) and research. It specifically covers the determination of total nitrogen in liquid petroleum products and lubricants within a concentration range of 40 to 10,000 mg/kg.

Purpose: ASTM D5762 provides a standardized procedure for quantifying nitrogen, a crucial element in various petroleum products. This method is particularly useful for analyzing lubricating oils and petroleum process streams.
