NB/SH/T 0966-2017 in English

The industry standard NB/SH/T 0966-2017, titled "Determination of Aromatic Hydrocarbon Content in White Oil by Ultraviolet Spectrophotometry," was issued on December 27, 2017, and came into effect on June 1, 2018. This standard provides a method for determining the aromatic hydrocarbon content in white oil using ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometry, which is a widely used analytical technique in the petrochemical industry.

White oil, a highly refined mineral oil, is used in various applications, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. The presence of aromatic hydrocarbons in white oil can affect its quality and suitability for specific uses. The UV spectrophotometry method outlined in this standard allows for precise measurement of aromatic content, ensuring that the white oil meets the required specifications for its intended applications.

The standard specifies the necessary equipment, reagents, and procedural steps for conducting the analysis. It includes detailed instructions for sample preparation, calibration, and measurement, as well as guidelines for interpreting the results. The method is designed to be both accurate and reproducible, providing reliable data for quality control and regulatory compliance.

By adhering to this standard, manufacturers and testing laboratories can ensure the consistency and safety of white oil products, thereby protecting consumer health and maintaining industry standards. The standard is a valuable resource for professionals involved in the production, testing, and regulation of white oil and related products.
