The Sulfonation Number Test determines olefinic and aromatic hydrocarbons in petroleum distillates such as gasoline, naphtha, and kerosene. This method, compliant with ASTM D1019 (obs..), IP 145 (obs..), and ISO 3840, evaluates hydrocarbons in distillates substantially free from butanes and with a 90% boiling point not over 600°F. It is essential for petroleum laboratories, quality control, and refinery testing.
