Biodiesel specifications, particularly for B100 (pure biodiesel), cover a range of properties to ensure quality and compatibility with diesel engines. These specifications include density, viscosity, flash point, sulfur content, and other factors like water content, total contamination, and ash content.Standards like ASTM D6751 and EN 14214, along with regional standards like IS 15607, define the acceptable ranges for these properties. Key Biodiesel Specifications (B100):
- Density: Typically 860-900 kg/m³ at 15°C.
- Kinematic Viscosity: 3.5-5.0 mm²/s at 40°C.
- Flash Point: Minimum 101°C (PMCC).
- Sulfur Content: Maximum 10 mg/kg.
- Water Content: Maximum 500 mg/kg.
- Ester Content: Minimum 96.5%.
- Total Contamination: Maximum 24 mg/kg.
- Ash Content: Maximum 0.02% by mass.
- Copper Strip Corrosion: No. 3 or better at 50°C.
- Acid Number: Maximum 0.5 mg KOH/g.
- Free Glycerol: Maximum 0.02% by mass.
- Total Glycerol: Maximum 0.25% by mass.
- Cetane Number: Minimum 51.
