TEST APPARATUS FOR DETERMINATION OF SULFUR

TEST APPARATUS FOR DETERMINATION OF SULFUR (SULFUR BOMB METHOD) :: ASTM D 129 / IP 61 / ASTM D 808 / ASTM D 1662

Model Code: SEWSB01

This test apparatus is used for determination of sulfur in petroleum products, including lubricating oils containing additives, additive concentrates, and lubricating greases that cannot be burned completely in a wick lamp. The test method is applicable to any petroleum product sufficiently low in volatility that it can be weighed accurately in an open sample bottle and containing at least 0.1 % sulfur. The sample is oxidized by combustion in a bomb containing oxygen under pressure. The sulfur, as sulfate in the bomb washings, is determined gravimetrically as barium sulfate.
