This document discusses the analysis of commercial jet fuels for sulfur using an Agilent 355 Sulfur Chemiluminescence Detector (SCD). The Agilent 355 SCD exhibits high sensitivity, selectivity, and linear response, combined with the separation capabilities of the Chrompack CP Sil 5 CB capillary column, making it the ideal detector for low-level sulfur analysis. Jet fuels are typically blended from low-sulfur or desulfurized kerosene, cracked blending stocks, and hydrocracked blending stocks. There are two basic types of jet fuels: naptha and kerosene. Naptha jet fuel is primarily produced for military uses and has a wide boiling range, while commercial jet fuels have a narrower boiling point range and are typically sold as JP-5.
This document provides a technical overview of the Agilent 355 Sulfur Chemiluminescence Detector (SCD) for the analysis of sulfur in commercial jet fuels. It highlights the detector's sensitivity, selectivity, and linear response when coupled with a Chrompack CP Sil 5 CB capillary column.
Total sulfur levels must be regulated to less than 500 ppm.
The maximum freezing point is -60 °F to -70 °F.
The 355 SCD split is 1:10, resulting in a total 1:100 sample split.
