Equipment for petroleum products quality control

Russia finishes adoption of Euro-5 standard fuel for production and use. In 2011 the technical regulations of the Customs Union “Requirements for petrol and aviation fuel, diesel and marine fuel, jet aircraft fuel and industrial fuel oil” came in effect. They include national standards list stipulating rules and measurement and resting methods required for execution of these Technical Regulations. Therefore regulations and specifications regulating oil products quality control are gradually being harmonized with the world standards.

 

Thus, standard for motor petroleums GOST R 51105-97 is gradually being replaced by the standard GOST R 51866-2002 (so called Lukoil standard) conforming to the European standard EN 228-99. The specifications for diesel fuel GOST 305 are gradually being replaced by GOST R 52638-2005, new specifications conforming to EN 590-2004.
At the present moment the latest standard for jet fuels is GOST R 52050-2003 “Aviation fuel for gas turbine engines JET A-1”

 

Let us introduce equipment packages for execution of the TU Technical Regulations. Besides, in the Oil Product Quality Control catalogue you can find ready-made solutions for implementation of the oil product reference test methods specified by GOST, ASTM, ISO, IP.
