6.3.5 "Br_No"
Determination of the bromine number in
petroleum hydrocarbons according to ASTM
D 2710-72, resp. ISO 3839:1996.
The bromine number is defined as the quan-
tity of bromine in mg which reacts with 100g
sample.
Electrode:
6.0308.100 double Pt-electrode, at measuring
input "Pol".
Titrant:
Solution of bromide/bromate,

Sample:
Dissolve the appropriate amount of sample
(depending on the expected bromine num-
ber) in 20 – 100 mL solvent. Titrate blank
sample the same way.
