Get Comparable ASTM/EN Data for Biodiesel Blend Measurements While Saving Time and Money using Portable IR Analyzers
Both EN 14078 and ASTM D7371 methods for measuring the percent biodiesel in diesel fuel use infrared analysis as the analytical method and are based around using an FTIR spectrometer which has the capability to do a multitude of analyses besides the biodiesel in diesel measurement. This is great for a laboratory where various biofuels measurements are required. However, if the only measurement ...

Lower Resolution IR Spectroscopy Can Provide Better Quantitative Biodiesel Measurements
A new White Paper published by Wilks Enterprise, Inc. illustrates that lower resolution infrared (IR) spectroscopy can provide higher performance for quantitative biodiesel measurements. Resolution is often used as a yardstick of instrument performance in Infrared Spectroscopy. This is especially true when the measurements are energy limited as they are in the mid-infrared. For example, in both ...
