Significance and Use

Residual fuel oils can contain H 2 S in the liquid phase and this can result in hazardous vapor phase levels of H 2 S in storage tank headspaces. The vapor phase levels can vary significantly according to the headspace volume, fuel temperature and agitation. Measurement of H 2 S levels in the liquid phase provides a useful indication of the residual fuel oil ’ s propensity to form high vapor phase levels, and lower levels in the residual fuel oil will directly reduce risk of H 2 S exposure. It is critical however that anyone involved in handling fuel oil, such as vessel owners and operators, continue to maintain appropriate safety practices designed to protect the crew, tank farm operators and others who can be exposed to H 2 S.

5.1.1 The measurement of H 2 S in the liquid phase is appropriate for product quality control, whilst the measurement of H 2 S in the vapor phase is appropriate for health and safety purposes.

This test method was developed so refiners, fuel terminal operators and independent testing laboratory personnel can rapidly and precisely measure the amount of H 2 S in the liquid phase of residual fuel oils.

Note 2—Test Method D7621 is one of three test methods for quantitatively measuring H 2 S in residual fuels. Test Method D5705 is a simple field test method for determining H 2 S levels in the vapor phase. Test Method D6021 is an analytical test method to determine H 2 S levels in the liquid phase.

H 2 S concentrations in the liquid and vapor phase attempt to reach equilibrium in a static system. However this equilibrium and the related liquid and vapor concentrations can vary greatly depending on temperature and the chemical composition of the liquid phase. A concentration of 1 mg/kg( μ g/g) (ppmw) of H 2 S in the liquid phase of a residual fuel can typically generate an actual gas concentration of >50 to 100 μ L/L (ppmv) of H 2 S in the vapor phase but the equilibrium of the vapor phase is disrupted the moment a vent or access point is opened to collect a sample.

Note 3—Because of the reactivity, absorptivity and volatility of H 2 S, any measurement method only provides an H 2 S concentration at a given moment in time.

1. Scope

1.1 This test method covers a procedure for the determination of the hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) content of fuel oils such as marine residual fuels and blend stocks, in the range 0.40 to 15.0 mg/kg as measured in the liquid phase.

1.2 This test method is applicable for materials with a viscosity up to 3000 mm 2 s -1 at 50 ° C.

Note 1—ASTM specification fuels falling within the scope of this test method are: Specification D396 Grade Nos 5 (light), 5 (heavy) and 6.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
