Designation:D126618Designation:107/86Standard Test Method forSulfur in Petroleum Products(Lamp Method)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1266;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of total sulfurin liquid petroleum products in concentrations from 0.01%to0.4%by mass(Note 1).A special sulfate analysis procedure isdescribed in Annex A1 that permits the determination of sulfurin concentrations as low as 5 mg kg.NOTE1The comparable lamp method for the determination of sulfurin liquefied petroleum gas is described in Test Method D2784.For thedetermination of sulfur in heavier petroleum products that cannot beburned in a lamp,see the high pressure decomposition device method(Test Method D129)the quartz tube method(IP 63),or the high-temperature method(Test Method D1552).1.2 The direct burning procedure(Section 9)is applicable tothe analysis of such materials as gasoline,kerosine,naphtha,and other liquids that can be burned completely in a wick lamp.The blending procedure(Section 10)is applicable to theanalysis of gas oils and distillate fuel oils,naphthenic acids,alkyl phenols,high sulfur content petroleum products,andmany other materials that cannot be burned satisfactorily by thedirect burning procedure.1.3 Phosphorus compounds normally present in commercialgasoline do not interfere.A correction is given for the smallamount of acid resulting from the combustion of the leadanti-knock fluids in gasolines.Appreciable concentrations ofacid-forming or base-forming elements from other sourcesinterfere when the titration procedure is employed since nocorrection is provided in these cases.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D129 Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum Products(Gen-eral High Pressure Decomposition Device Method)D1193 Specification for Reagent WaterD1552 Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum Products byHigh Temperature Combustion and Infrared(IR)Detec-tion or Thermal Conductivity Detection(TCD)D2784 Standard Test Method for Sulfur in Liquefied Petro-leum Gases(Oxy-Hydrogen Burner or Lamp)(Withdrawn2016)3D4057 Practice for Manual Sampling of Petroleum andPetroleum ProductsD4177 Practice for Automatic Sampling of Petroleum andPetroleum ProductsD6299 Practice for Applying Statistical Quality Assuranceand Control Charting Techniques to Evaluate AnalyticalMeasurement System PerformanceD6300 Practice for Determination of Precision and BiasData for Use in Test Methods for Petroleum Products andLubricantsD6792 Practice for Quality Management Systems in Petro-leum Products,Liquid Fuels,and Lubricants TestingLaboratoriesE11 Specification for Woven Wire Test Sieve Cloth and TestSieves1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products,Liquid Fuels,and Lubricants and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D02.03 on Elemental Analysis.Current edition approved April 1,2018.Published April 2018.Originallyapproved in 1969.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as D1266 13.DOI:10.1520/D1266-18.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 2.2 Energy Institute Standard:4IP 63 Sulfur ContentThe Quartz Tube Me
