Standard colour test bodies and procedures for instrumental measurement of Saybolt colour of crude oil using these test bodies

摘要

A standard sample for use in an instrumental measurement of Saybolt color of a petroleum product with a photoelectric colorimeter, which comprises a mixed solution of 1-(phenylazo)-2-naphthalenol, 3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-(phenylazo)-pyrazol-5-ol and 1,4-bis(butylamino)-9,10-anthracenedione each as a colorant, 1-phenyl-1-xylylethane as a solvent for said colorants and dodecene as a diluent, and a method of instrumental measurement of Saybolt color of a petroleum product, which comprises calibrating a photoelectric colorimeter with the standard sample.
