• the test measures the volatile oxidation decomposition products such as peroxides, alcohols, aldehydes and carboxylic acids.
• the volatile decomposition products (chiefly formic acid) are swept through the sample vessel and vented into the secondary container where they are trapped by the distilled water.
• the conductivity of the water is constantly monitored as a function of time through use of an electrode.
• the inflection point (not a specific value) of the conductivity curve is the measured induction time. It should be pointed out that some samples will be highly conductive before the inflection point is achieved, while others will only be slightly conductive. An increase of the induction time indicates an increase in oxidative stability. Results are in the table below. Levels of additive are in weight percent based on the weight of the biodiesel.
