ULSD Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Testing

Ultra low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD) testing.

Intertek tests ULSD in the USA and Canada, and is accepted by the US EPA to perform sulfur (sulphur) determination of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD), offering the largest network of laboratories qualified to perform EPA qualified low sulfur analysis.

Intertek's diesel fuel sampling and mailing kits make it easy to ship diesel fuel samples directly to the nearest EPA qualified Intertek laboratory for rapid test results.

Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel / ULSD test methods:  

  • ASTM D-5453: Total Sulfur in Light Hydrocarbons, Motor Fuels, and Oils
  • ASTM D-3120: Trace Sulfur in Light Liquid Petroleum Hydrocarbons
  • ASTM D-6079: Diesel Fuel Lubricity by the High Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR)
  • ASTM D-2622: Sulfur in Petroleum Products by Wavelength Dispersive XRF
  • ASTM D-7039: Sulfur in Gasoline, Diesel Fuel by Wavelength Dispersive XRF
  • ASTM D-2624: Electrical Conductivity of Aviation and Distillate Fuels

Intertek USA and Canada laboratories are standardized to maximize analytical precision. The EPA approval process requires analytical methods meet accuracy and precision criteria in order to be accepted.

Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel:
Sulfur (Sulphur) in diesel fuel has been lowered to enable new pollution-control technology. The EPA requires a 97 percent reduction in the sulfur content of highway diesel fuel from 500 ppm to 15 ppm. ULSD fuel requirements started to took effect in 2006.

Sulfur Analysis and ULSD:
Under the EPA performance-based test method approach adopted in the diesel sulfur rule, multiple sulfur test methods are allowed. Methods qualify for approval provided they meet specified performance criteria under the Performance Based Testing Criteria in 40 CFR 80.584. Reference 40 CFR 80.584 and CFR 80.585.
