Case 2
Density specification limit (A1): 991.0 kg/m3 @ 15C.
R (test method ISO 12185:1996): 1.5 kg/m3
Single test result X' available: 991.4 kg/m3 @ 15C.
The single test result exceeds the specification limit A1;
however, because it is lower than A1 + 0.59R, multiple
testing may still result in finding the density on spec
(A1 + 0.59R X' > A1).
(991.0 + 0.59 1.5 > 991.4 > 991.0 or 991.0 + 0.9 >
991.4 > 991.0 or 991.9 > 991.4 > 991.0)
2. ISO 12185
For transparent middle distillates:
R = 0.5 kg/m3 or 0.0005 kg/l
For crude oils and other petroleum products:
R = 1.5 kg/m3 or 0.0015 kg/l

Sodium, mg/kg
1. IP 501 (ICP)
R = 1.0667x0.55
Vanadium, mg/kg
1. ISO 14597
The method is applicable to products having
V content in the range of 5 to 1000 mg/kg,
although reproducibility data have only been
determined up to 100 mg/kg for V
For V content between 530 mg/kg: R = 5 mg/kg
For V content between 31100 mg/kg:
R = 10 mg/kg
2. IP 470 (AAS)
R = 1.303x0.6
Where x is the average of the results being
compared
2. IP 501
R = 1.6799x0.6
Where x is the average of the results (mg/kg)
being compared
Pour Point, C
ISO 3016
R = 6.59C
Sulphur, % (m/m)
1. ISO 8754
For values > 0.05 m/m % and 5.00 m/m %:
R = 0.0812(x + 0.15)
for values 0.03 m/m % and 0.05 m/m %:
R= 0.1781(x + 0.05)
Where x is the mean sulphur content
2. ISO 14596
For sulphur content in the range 0.100.99 m/m
%: R = 0.02
For sulphur content in the range 1.002.50 m/m
%: R = 0.04
3. IP 470
R = 3.26x0.5
Where x is the average of the results (mg/kg)
being compared
Water, % (v/v)
ISO 3733
Water collected between 0.0 and 1.0 ml:
R = 0.2 ml
Water collected between 1.1 and 25 ml:
R = 0.2ml or 10% of mean, whichever is greater
