Gateway to Polysulfide Calibration, QC/ & Drift Standards

Image of SpectroCertified® Polysulfide SpectroStandards® Formulations

Recent governmental regulations have necessitated the quantification of fuels for sulfur content to levels as low as 1 PPM. This has created a need for special formulations to serve as highly reliable and accurate calibration standards combining stability, consistency, long term shelf life, low volatility and miscibility with mineral and lubrication oils, diesel fuel, ultra clean fuels and high weight percent sulfur in crude and residual oils.

Chemplex polysulfide SpectroStandards® formulations are ideally suitable for conforming to governmental regulations and compliance with ASTM Methods D2622, D4294, D7039, D7212 and D7220. They are available for establishing sulfur calibration curves for XRF spectrochemical analysis, maintaining a quality control program and for monitoring potential instrument drift.

SpectroStandards® polysulfide standards are SpectroCertified® quality by traceability to NIST SRM 2724b.

Biodiesel Fuel Standards and Chemicals

A comprehensive product line of SpectroCertified® biodiesel fuel standards are offered for testing sulfur, free and total glycerin, sodium, potassium, methanol in FAME, iodine values, hexane residue in fats and oil and simulated distillations. The standards are processed in accordance with ASTM, DIN, UOP and ACOS methodologies and provided mostly in sets and in sealed ampoules.
