Este trabalho analisa a qualidade dos combustíveis derivados de petróleo através de suas propriedades acústicas, visando assim um monitoramento contínuo e instantâneo. Analisa a variação da impedância acústica da gasolina com acréscimo de vários componentes como: tolueno, óleo diesel, querosene e álcool anidro. Os resultados obtidos mostram uma variação significativa embora não linear da impedância acústica nos combustíveis derivados de petróleo com acréscimo de tais substâncias. / This work is related with research project focused on the development of low cost and robust quality monitoring equipment and methods, suitable for application in the production of petrochemical compounds. The main objective of this work is to assess the quality of automotive gasoline through the analysis of its acoustic properties. More specifically, pure gasoline\'s acoustic impedance (defined as the product between its density and the velocity of propagation of an acoustic wave) is analyzed with respect to the addition of toluene, kerosene, ethanol and diesel fuel. Results show that the acoustic impedance is sensitive to the addition of such components, although this relation may be non-linear in some cases.
