FT-0120 Acid Number Test for Diesel and Biodiesel Fuels
Description
This threshold test indicates whether diesel fuel (or a biodiesel blend) exceeds industry specifications for acid number value, a key indicator of diesel fuel degradation. The thresholds are based on 0.3mgKOH/g fuel which is useful for both diesel and biodiesel blends.
When to use it
This test should be used as an initial screening test for fuel deliveries and for periodic monitoring of fuel quality at the dispenser and storage tanks. It can also be used as a vehicle maintenance diagnostic to detect degraded fuel in seasonal use vehicles. Works for diesel fuels and biodiesel blends.
