Summary of this proficiency test: On 7 April 2015, the proficiency test on VGO (iis14G06) was finished. The PT started 19 November 2014(see message “Proficiency Test on VGO started” on this website) when the samples were distributed. In this interlaboratory study 52 participants in 27 different countries have participated.
The participants were requested to determine Total Acid Number,Aniline Point, Asphaltenes, Density @ 15°C, Carbon Residue, Flash Point PMcc, Kinematic viscosity @ 50°C, Kinematic viscosity @ 100°C,MCR, Nitrogen, Total Sulphur Content,
Simdist, As, Ca, Cu, Fe, Ni, Na, Si, and V and Distillation
The proficiency test report summarises per test, the
test results, the analytical methods reported by the participants and the
z-scores calculated for each participant are tabulated. Also, for
