Assessment of Total Sulfur in Base Oils - ASTM D7183

Motor oil being poured from bottle.

ASTM 7183 is a standard test method for determination of Total Sulfur in aromatic hydrocarbons and related chemicals by ultraviolet fluorescence (UV). The concentration range for this method is 0.5 to 10 mg/kg and samples can be either directly injected or placed in a boat for combustion and analysis. Base oils are a common type of sample tested using ASTM D7183 as the most commonly used base oils have less than 0.03% sulfur.

Our Impact

TSHR has been helping labs achieve their elemental analysis goals with dedicated solutions. Our vision is to develop innovative reliable combustion analyzers that enable customers to make their work productive and more easier.

To help labs excel we offer Application Notes across the Combustion Analyzer product line. They are a resource that explains the technology, performance, and abilities of our products as used against certain methodologies and or applications.

Whether your needs center around an ASTM Standard or EN/ISO methods, or a sample matrix-based outcome TSHR has you covered. If you don’t see the technical direction you need, simply contact us. We also offer sample analysis in our onsite Applications Lab.
