GB 19159-2012Automotive liquefied petroleum gases (English PDF)

Foreword

Chapter 4 of this standard (except for test methods) is mandatory AND the rest

is recommended.

This standard is drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.

This standard replaces GB 19159-2003; as compared with GB 19159-2003, the

main technical changes are as follows.

- DEFINE the scope of application as "liquefied petroleum gas for ignition

type of internal combustion engine" (SEE Chapter 1);

- DELETE the limitation of the component mass fraction (SEE Table 1;

Chapter 4 of 2003 version);

- DELETE the limitation on grease observation (SEE Table 1; Chapter 4 of

2003 version);

- MODIFY the total sulfur content from "< 270 mg/m3" to "not more than 50

mg/kg" (SEE Table 1; Chapter 4 of 2003 version);

- MODIFY the evaporation residue from "not more than 0.05 mL/100 mL" to

"not more than 60 mg/kg" (SEE Table 1; Chapter 4 of 2003 version);

- MODIFY the density measurement temperature from "20 °C" to "15 °C"

(SEE Table 1; Chapter 4 of 2003 version);

- MODIFY the vapor pressure measurement temperature from "37.8 °C" to

"40 °C" (SEE Table 1; Chapter 4 of 2003 version);

- ADD the technical requirements for motor octane number (SEE Table 1);

- Based on the temperature at the minimum vapor pressure 150 kPa, DIVIDE

the product level (SEE Table 1);

- ADD the calculation method of liquefied petroleum gas motor octane

number, measurement method and calculation method of the absolute

vapor pressure and gauge pressure of liquefied petroleum gas, the vapor

pressure limit of liquefied petroleum gas of different designations

corresponding to 40 °C, AND the detection method of the odor of liquefied

petroleum gas (SEE Appendix).

This standard, combining with Chinese vehicle liquefied petroleum gas

resources, vehicle use characteristics and status quo, through modification,

adopts the EU standard EN 589.2008 "Automotive fuels - LPG - Requirements

Automotive liquefied petroleum gases
