A gas chromatographic method has been developed for the hydrocarbon-type analysis of gasoline-range petroleum products. This gas chromatograhic method is the first to provide a direct measure of total olefin concentration as a result of a newly developed cupric sulfate-silica gel column for the separation of olefins from saturates. A laboratory instrument, based on this method, is described that gives faster and more reproducible results than the fluorescent indicator adsorption (FIA) method. Comparative results were obtained on a series of test fuels, commercial gasolines, and gasoline blending components. Instrumental results compared well with those obtained by FIA.
