Bromine Number of Petroleum Distillates and Commercial Aliphatic Olefins

Method Abstract #7

Scope and Application

This method conforms to ASTM D1159. Sample types include petroleum distillates & commercial olefins.

Bromine number is an indication of how many bromine-reactive constituents are present in the sample being analyzed. It is the number of grams of bromine that will react with 100 g of specimen under conditions of the test. Bromine reacts stoichiometrically with double bonds in petroleum samples and thus is a good measure of its unsaturation.
