Describes a test method for the determination of the oxidation stability of fuels for diesel engines, by means of measuring the induction period of the fuel up to 48 h.

This European Standard specifies a test method for the determination of the oxidation stability of fuels for diesel engines, by means of measuring the induction period of the fuel up to 48h. The method is applicable to fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) intended for the use as pure biofuel or as a blending component for diesel fuels, and to blends of FAME with diesel fuel containing 2% ( V/V) of FAME at minimum. NOTE1 EN14112 [1] describes a similar test method for oxidation stability determination of pure fatty acid methyl esters (see the Introduction to this European Standard). NOTE2 For induction periods higher than 48h the precision is not covered by the precision statement of this method. The limit values of the relevant fuel standards are well within the scope of this test method. NOTE3 The presence of cetane improver can reduce the oxidation stability determined by this test method. Limited studies with EHN (2-ethyl hexyl nitrate) indicated, however, that the stability is reduced to an extent which is within the reproducibility of the test method. NOTE4 For the purposes of this European Standard, the term “% ( V/ V)” is used to represent the volume fraction ( φ) of a material.
