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

10、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 white to nearly

11、 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 dyes absorb. Sta

12、ndard operating procedures tocorrect for these background variations would involve runninga neat (undyed) sample and subtracting out the backgroundabsorbance. In most situations involved with the application ofthis test method, however, neat material is not available, so nobackground corrections can

The exactcomposition of Solvent Red 164 will vary from manufacturerto manufacturer and lot to lot depending upon the extent ofalkylation that occurs during production; however, its visiblespectrum is virtually iden

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.
