16、may be executed using sea and/or various land transportations. Throughout the loading and transportation, there may be a risk of increasing evaporation residues.The evaporation residues can over time impact the performance of the equipment when DME is used as fuel. Therefore, evaporation residues in
17、 the DME shall be determined accurately using procedures recognized by the parties concerned.

18、use of this International Standard can involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This International Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this International Standard to establish appropriate safe
19、ty and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies a procedure of test for high temperature (105 C) evaporation residue in DME used as fuel by the mass analysis method. This procedure is applicable to determine
20、the amount of high temperature (105 C) evaporation residue up to the value specified in ISO 16861.Several tests can be applied to determine amount of evaporation residue in liquefied products. Among them, this International Standard specifies the method that has detection limit sufficient for a DME
21、specification in ISO 16861, using less resource compared to other methods.When more precise quantitative test is required, use of ISO 13757 instead of this International Standard is recommended.Because of the procedure applied, the evaporation residue which has a boiling point lower than 105 C will
22、not be determined.NOTE The precision of this method has been studied for a limited set of samples and content levels by a limited amount of labs. It allows establishment of a quality specification of DME but cannot be considered as a full precision determination in line with the usual statistical me

Then, the valves are opened in the order of the sample cylinder valve, sample valve and needle valve, and the connecting pipe, spiral tube are prewashed with the liquid sample.6.5 The sample cylinder valve is opened, and the
34、sample is led into the evaporation dish in liquid state. At this time, the sample is supplied gradually until the evaporation dish cools down.

Refer to Annex A for the report of the interlaboratory test.NOTE The emphasis of the interlaboratory study was to confirm that the sample ana
