Summary of Test Method4.1 The absorbance of each sample is recorded over aspecified wavelength range, and the scan is analyzed usingderivative analysis

10、 software to determine the dye concentra-tion.4.2 Derivative analysis methodology is employed to mini-mize interferences caused by variations in the color andcomposition of the fuel samples regularly tested using this testmethod.4.2.1 Naturally occurring diesel test fuels range in colorfrom water wh

11、ite to nearly black, and many of the samplestested using this test method have also had used oils and otherproducts blended with them. These variations in color andcomposition have a significant effect upon absorbance charac-teristics of the samples in the region of the visible spectrumwhere azo dye

In most situations involved with the application ofthis test method, however, neat material is not available, so nobackground co

Significance and Use5.1 This test method was developed to provide for theenforcement of 26 CFR 48.4082-1(b), which mandates that alltax-e

18、xempt diesel fuels be dyed with an amount of Solvent Red164 at a concentration that is spectrally equivalent to 3.9 lb/103bbl (11.1 mg/L) of Solvent Red 26. It is employed to verify thatthe correct amount of Solvent Red 164 is being added totax-exempt product at terminals or refineries prior to sale

19、, andto detect the presence of Solvent Red 164 in taxed productintended for on-road use.5.1.1 Solvent Red 26 is the azo dye shown in Fig. 1.Itisthestandard against which the concentration of Solvent Red 164 ismeasured because it is available in a certified pure form.Solvent Red 164 is identical in s

20、tructure to Solvent Red 26except that it has hydrocarbon (alkyl) chains incorporated toincrease its solubility in diesel and burner fuels. The exactcomposition of Solvent Red 164 will vary from manufacturerto manufacturer and lot to lot depending upon the extent ofalkylation that occurs during produ

21、ction; however, its visiblespectrum is virtually identical to the spectrum of Solvent Red26. Solvent Red 164 is employed in the field (instead ofSolvent Red 26) to dye tax-exempt diesel and burner fuelsbecause of its higher solubility and relatively low cost.6.
