ASTM D2622

Standard Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum Products by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry

Applicability: ASTM D2622 is a test method that determines the total sulfur content in petroleum and petroleum products. It’s primarily used for materials that are liquid at ambient conditions, liquefiable with moderate heat, or soluble in hydrocarbon solvents. This includes a wide range of fuels like diesel, jet fuel, kerosene, crude oil, and biodiesel.

Purpose: ASTM D2622 specifically aims to quantify the amount of sulfur present in various petroleum-based materials.
