§ 80.46
Sulfur content of gasoline and butane must be determined by use of the following methods:
The sulfur content of gasoline must be determined by use of American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard method D2622 (incorporated by reference, see paragraph (h) of this section) or by one of the alternative methods specified in paragraph (a)(3) of this section.
Beginning January 1, 2004, the sulfur content of butane must be determined by the use of ASTM standard test method D 6667-01, entitled, “Standard Test Method for Determination of Total Volatile Sulfur in Gaseous Hydrocarbons and Liquefied Petroleum Gases by Ultraviolet Fluorescence” or by the alternative method specified in paragraph (a)(4) of this section.
Any refiner or importer may use any of the following methods for determining the sulfur content of gasoline; provided the refiner or importer test result is correlated with the method specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section:
ASTM standard method D5453 (incorporated by reference, see paragraph (h) of this section) or
ASTM standard method D6920 (incorporated by reference, see paragraph (h) of this section) or
ASTM standard method D3120 (incorporated by reference, see paragraph (h) of this section) or
ASTM standard method D7039 (incorporated by reference, see paragraph (h) of this section).
Beginning January 1, 2004, any refiner or importer may determine the sulfur content of butane using any of the following methods; provided the refiner or importer test result is correlated with the method specified in paragraph (a)(2) of this section:
ASTM standard method D 4468-85 (Reapproved 2000), “Standard Test Method for Total Sulfur in Gaseous Fuels by Hydrogenolysis and Rateometric Colorimetry,” or
ASTM standard method D 3246-96, entitled, “Standard Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum Gas by Oxidative Microcoulemetry.”
Olefin content must be determined by use of the following methods:
Olefin content must be determined by use of ASTM standard method D1319 (incorporated by reference, see paragraph (h) of this section).
Any refiner or importer may determine olefin content using ASTM standard method ASTM D6550 (incorporated by reference, see paragraph (h) of this section) for purposes of meeting any testing requirement involving olefin content; provided that
The refiner or importer test result is correlated with the method specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section on a site-specific basis, in order to achieve an unbiased prediction of the result in volume percent, for the method specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section.
Reid vapor pressure (RVP).
Reid vapor pressure must be determined using ASTM standard test method ASTM D5191 (incorporated by reference, see paragraph (h) of this section), except that the following correlation equation must be used:
