Supply EN14103 Ester and Linolenic Acid Methyl Ester Contents in FAME by GC Wholesale Factory

HKL-14103 GC for Ester and Linolenic Acid Methyl Ester contents in Biodiesel

Overview

For biodiesel to be used as a motor fuel or blended with petroleum diesel, it must conform to standard specifications (ASTM D 6751 or EN-14214). There are standard GC methods in to determine if biodiesel conforms to the standard specifications, one of which is EN-14103, used to determine the ester and linoleic acid methyl ester content. It describes the determination of total ester content and linolenic acid methyl ester content in biodiesel by means of gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID). The total ester content covers a range of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) from C₆ to C₂₄, and linolenic acid methyl ester is investigated separately as interfering reactive compound that might influence long-term stability of the biodiesel. According to the standard, the total ester content must be greater than 90 % (m/m) and the linolenic acid methyl ester content shall be between 1 and 15 % (m/m).

FAQ

Q1: What international shipping methods do you support?
A: An air generator is a device that produces a clean, moisture-free, and oil-free compressed air supply for the use of analytical instruments in the laboratory. It is widelyused as a secondary gas supply for such devices as gas chromatographs (GC), nitrogen generators, atomic absorption spectrophotometers (AAS), total organic carbon analyzers (TOC), and thermal analyzers, which allows the replacement of the conventional high-pressure cylinders and the realization of them continuous and stable gas supply.
