 Kinematic viscosity
Shorter-chain FA are excluded by the relatively high
minimum value for kinematic viscosity in EN 14214.
Minimum kinematic viscosity value for biodiesel
prescribed in EN 14214 is higher than that of many
petrodiesel fuels, underscoring the feedstock-restrictive
nature of the EN 14214 limit.
Biodiesel fuels derived from used frying oils tend to
possess higher viscosity than those from most vegetable
oils, owing to their higher content of trans FA and
saturated, or less unsaturated FA.
An upper limit of 5 mm2/s for kinematic viscosity in
biodiesel standards may exclude some frying oils as
feedstock.
3. Flash Point
o> Ukuran daya pembakaran bahan bakar dan
parameter risiko bahan bakar selama transportasi
dan penyimpanan
o> Nilai flash point maksimum : 100 oC
o> Prosedur pengujian : EN ISO 3679
Alcohol. Flash point
The flash point specification serves to restrict the
amount of alcohol in the biodiesel fuel. The
prescribed methods, both of which use a closed-cup
flash point tester, are ASTM D 93 in ASTM D 6751
and ISO 3679 in EN 14214 and restrict methanol to
a maximum of about 0.1% in the biodiesel fuel.
Methanol content.
EN 14110, contained in EN 14214, can be applied to
mixtures containing 0.01 to 0.5% methanoland is a
GC-based method. The sample is heated in a sealed
vial at 80C and after attaining an equilibrium, a
defined amount of the gas phase is injected into the
GC. 2-Propanol serves as internal standard.
4. Kandungan Sulfur
Kandungan sulfur maksimum : 100 ppm
Sulfur berkaitan erat dengan dampak negatif
terhadap lingkungan, efisiensi dan umur pakai
katalitik oksidasi converter, daya lumas bahan
bakar, dan kekuatan pompa injeksi
Prosedur pengujian : Ultraviolet fluoresence
spectrometry/EN ISO 20846 atau wavelength-
dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry/EN ISO
20884
 Sulfur
D 4951 (used for the ASTM phosphorus specification), in
ASTM D 6751 it is determined by D 5453.
D 5453 determines sulfur content by UV fluorescence of
the sample during its combustion.
SO2 produced during combustion is converted to excited
SO2*. The fluorescence emitted from the excited SO2*
during its return to the stable SO2 state is detected, with
the signal indicating the amount of sulfur in the sample.
The alternative method ISO 20884 in EN 14214 uses
wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry.
These methods specifically mention their applicability to
biodiesel (FAME) neat (ASTM) or in blends up to 5%
(ISO).
Catalyst and related matters.
Sulfated ash
ASTM D 874 in ASTM D 6751; ISO 3987 in EN14214 is
designed for determining sulfated ash from lubricating oils
containing various metal-containing additives.
Metals that are covered include Ba, Ca, Mg, Na, K, and Sn,
although S, P, and Cl can be present in combined form.
To carry out this test, the sample is burned fully with only
ash and carbon remaining.
This residue is treated with sulfuric acid and heated until
oxidation of carbon is complete. The ash is cooled, treated
again with sulfuric acid and heated to constant weight.
An application to biodiesel is obviously determining residual
Na or K from the catalyst.
5. Conradson carbon residue
o> Nilai maksimum residu karbon = 0,30 %(m/m)
o> Karbon akan membentuk deposit pada ujung injektor dan
bagian dalam chamber pembakaran serta berpengaruh

o> Prosedur pengujian : distilasi/ASTM D 1160, ISO 6615

ASTM D 4504 in ASTM D 6751; ISO 10370 in EN 14214) is

designed to indicate the coking tendency of the sample.
The amount of carbon residue formed after evaporation and
pyrolysis of the weighed petroleum sample is determined.
The results correspond to the Conradson Carbon Residue test
(ASTM D 189).
For an expected test result of less than 0.10%, the sample can
be distilled to give a remaining 10% of the original sample,
which is the material then to be tested.
 6. Bilangan Setana
Bilangan setana minimum : 51
Bilangan setana berkaitan erat dengan nyala bahan bakar, waktu
antara injeksi bahan bakar dan pembakaran, dan emisi yang
dihasilkan.
Bilangan setana ester asam lemak meningkat dengan
meningkatnya rantai karbon dan jumlah group ester.
Prosedur pengujian : Engine test (EN ISO 5165), Cetane index (CI)

The cetane number (CN) is based on two compounds, hexadecane,

with a CN of 100, and heptamethylnonane, with a CN of 15.
The longer the fatty acid carbon chains and the more saturated the
molecules, the higher the CN.
The CN of biodiesel from animal fats is higher than those of
vegetable oils

 The cetane number is a dimensionless descriptor of the
ignition quality of a diesel fuel. It is related to the ignition
delay time a fuel experiences on injection into the
combustion chamber.
The higher the cetane number, the shorter the ignition delay
time is and the higher the propensity of the fuel to ignite.
The minimum cetane numbers prescribed in ASTM D 6751
and EN 14214 exceed those in petrodiesel standards.
Both ASTM D 6751 and EN 14214 specify methods using a
cetane engine, an engine specifically modified for testing
cetane number.
Alternatives to the cetane engine such as ASTM D 6890
exist, although not for the same range of cetane numbers.
7. Kadar Abu sulfat

o> Prosedur pengujian : ISO 3987
8. Kadar Air
o> Kadar air maksimum adalah 500 ppm
o> Air dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan mikroorganisme dan
dapat menyebabkan sumbatan filter dan aliran bahan bakar
pada mesin. Air berasosiasi dengan reaksi hidrolisis ester
asam lemak membentuk asam lemak bebas dan dapat
menyebabkan penyumbatan pada filter dan korosi logam
kromium dan seng pada injektor. Air mempersulit proses
pencampuran biodiesel dengan diesel.

penyaringan. Co. sabun dan sedimen
o> Batas total kontaminan 24 ppm
o> Kontaminan dapat menyebabkan penyumbatan

10. Copper strip corrosion
o> Kecenderungan biodiesel untuk menyebabkan korosi
pada logam tembaga, seng, dan perunggu dalam mesin
dan tangki penyimpanan ditentukan oleh nilai Copper
strip corrosion
o> Prosedur pengujian : EN ISO 2160
Copper strip corrosion
ASTM D 130 in ASTM D 6751; ISO 2160 in EN
14214
Consists of dipping a strip of copper into the fuel
for a specified time and defined temperature and
observing the corrosive action of the fuel.
It is a test for corrosive sulfur compounds in the
fuel. The corrosive action of these sulfur
compounds does not necessarily relate to the
total sulfur content as described above. The
degree of tarnish on the corroded strip correlates
to the overall corrosiveness of the fuel sample.
Phosphorus
Traces of phosphorus, resulting from phospholipids, can
remain in vegetable oils after refining.
Phosphorus can poison catalysts used for reduction of
exhaust emissions. D 4951 (in D 6751) and EN 14107
(in EN 14214) both use ICP atomic emission
spectrometry; EN 14107 specifies 178.3 nm or 213.6
nm. D 4951 suggests these wavelengths, as well as
177.51, 214.91, and 253.40 nm for phosphorus.
In the literature, the limit of detection for phosphorus
was 32 (177.500 nm) and 67 (178.287 nm) mg kg-1
when using argon-oxygen mixed-gas ICP-OES (32).

o> Bahan tidak tersabunkan berpengaruh terhadap jumlah
alkil ester asam lemak, stabilitas bahan bakar,
pembentukan deposit dalam mesin, dan boilling point

o> Prosedur pengujian : Titrasi, GC, dan HPLC
 Glycerol and glycerol esters. Free and total glycerol. Ester
content.
Both GC and HPLC analyses and combinations : generally higher
accuracy in quantifying minor components. Accuracy of GC analyses
can be influenced by baseline drift, overlapping signals, and aging of
standards and samples.
HPLC analysis was applied to some ethyl, isopropyl, 2-butyl, and
isobutyl esters of soybean oil and tallow (7).
Quantification of individual compounds in biodiesel is not necessary,
but the quantification of classes of compounds is. For example, for the
determination of MAG, DAG, or TAG (in EU standards), it does not
matter which FA is (are) attached to the glycerol backbone.
The specifications regarding glycerol esters are analyzed by GC using
an FID in both ASTM D 6751 and EN 14214. ASTM D 6751 uses ASTM D
6584, whereas there are several specifications in EN 14214 using GC-
based methods.
Methyl heptadecanoate is a common standard for FA components,
although the stability of standard solutions is an issue (8); freshly
prepared solutions should be used, and pyridine may be more suitable
as solvent than heptane.
ASTM D 6584 and EN 14105 are use high-temperature (up to 400C)
capillary columns. ASTM D 6584 specifies (5%
phenyl)polydimethylsiloxane columns of 10 or 15 m length with 0.32
Restrictions on the FA
Profile
(i) Linolenic acid methyl ester content.
The content of methyl linolenate is restricted in EN
14214 because of the propensity of methyl
linolenate to oxidize. However, the limit (12%) is
set so as not to exclude high-oleic rapeseed oil, the
major biodiesel source in Europe, as feedstock.

(ii) Content of FAME with 4 double bonds.

This specification serves to eliminate fish oil as
biodiesel feedstock. With their even higher content
of methylene-interrupted double bonds, fish oil FA
are even more prone to oxidation
Restrictions on the FA
Profile
(iii) Iodine value (IV).
IV is a measure of total unsaturation of a lipidic
material. The standard method EN 14111 in the
European biodiesel standard is based on the classic wet
chemical method (Wijs) for determining the IV.
It purportedly serves a similar purpose in EN 14214 as
do the restrictions on methyl linolenate and fish oil
esters.
The IV of 120 in EN 14214 can serve to restrict certain
vegetable oils as biodiesel feedstock, notably soybean
oil or sunflower oil. However, the use of the
IV is problematic because of the great number of FA
compositions giving the same IV. IV restrictions can be
overcome by the use of higher esters, such as ethyl or
propyl, although the FA profile remains unchanged.
FFA and acid value
The acid value is contained in ASTM D 6751 using the method
ASTM D 664 and in EN 14214 using the method EN 14104.
However, D 664, a potentiometric method, possesses
mediocre reproducibility, a problem mentioned in the method
itself. The problem is likely due to the variability of electrodes.
ASTM D974 is a nonaqueous titration using KOH in
isopropanol with p-naphtholbenzoin as indicator and is
suitable even for colored samples.
EN 14104 is also a titration; however, it uses a dilute
ethanolic KOH solution with phenolphthalein as indicator.
Other literature related to the acid value includes titration
methods for determining the neutralization number (NN) of
biodiesel.
 Oxidative stability
Content of esters of linoleic and linolenic acids, whose bis-allylic methylene
positions are especially susceptible to oxidation.
The Rancimat method, described in EN 14112, has been included in the
European biodiesel standards. It is nearly identical to the AOCS Oil Stability
Index (OSI) method Cd12b-92 (35).
Both methods are automated and involve heating the sample to a specified
temperature (usually 110C) and bubbling air through the sample, which in
turn sweeps volatiles from the sample into water. The conductivity of the water
is measured as it changes when volatile acids are contained in it. Generally,
oxidation is slow initially.
The point at which the rate of oxidation increases is the induction period
(maximum change of rate of oxidation; second derivative of the conductivity
with respect to time) and is the time measured by Rancimat or OSI.
These methods are also suitable for investigating the effectiveness of
antioxidants.
The temperature generally used for the Rancimat or OSI method (110C) may
be considered rather high and not necessarily reflecting real-world conditions.
It may also be argued that, with the inclusion of the oxidative stability
specification in EN 14214, the iodine value is not necessary in EN 14214.
