Vs−Vb
Peroxide value = x T x 103
Weight of sample

T = Molarity of sodium thiosulphate

Vs = Volume in mL titration for sample

Vb = Volume in mL titration for blank

Fresh oil

8.3−0.1
Peroxide value = x 0.002 x 103
1.011

= 16.22

PV x 2 = 16.22 x 2

= 32.44 mEq/kg

Used oil
 13.33−0.1
Peroxide value = x 0.002 x 103
1.007

= 26.27

PV x 2 = 26.27 x 2

= 52.54 mEq/kg
