16、 Committee.1for this analyses. The GC should also be capable of tempera-ture programming of the oven to obtain optimum separation ofthe components. A typical configuration is shown in Fig. 1.6.2 Detectors(PDHID Pulse Discharge Detector HeliumIonization)The PDHID detector is very sensitive to mostorg

17、anic or inorganic chemicals, thus requiring separation of theproduct gases from the permanent gas components.6.2.1 Alternative DetectorsThis test method is written forthe pulsed discharge helium detector (PDHID), but otherdetectors can be used provided they have sufficient sensitivity,respond to all

18、 of the species in the scope, do not suffer frominterferences, and satisfy quality assurance criteria. Regulatoryagencies may require demonstration of equivalency of alterna-tive detection systems to the PDHID.6.3 Gas Sample ValveAny valve that allows for columnand/or sample inlet system selection.

19、This valve may be purgedwith helium to minimize atmospheric air contamination intothe valve rotor and column system.6.4 Helium PurifierUltra-high purity carrier gas with aninline helium purifier installed to remove impurities is recom-mended. The purifier should be able produce gas with outletimpuri

A leak-free GC system is essential due to the highsensitivity of the detector.6.5 Constant-volume Gas Sampling ValveAny gas sam-pling valve capable of delivering a consistent volume of gas.6

21、.5.1 Liquefied Petroleum Gas SamplesSamples shouldbe vaporized to allow introduction to the constant-volume gassampling valve. The vaporization technique used must bevalidated to ensure that sample discrimination is avoided.Pressure sampling devices may be used to inject a smallamount of the liquid

22、directly into the carrier gas.6.6 Materials of ConstructionThe sample inlet systemshall be constructed of materials that are inert and non-adsorptive with respect to the components in the sample. Thepreferred material of construction is stainless steel. Copper,brass, and other copper-bearing alloys

23、are unacceptable. Theanalysis of oxygen and carbon monoxide may benefit from theuse of treated metal surfaces.6.7 ColumnAny column may be used provided it willresolve the trace compound peaks present in concentrations of20 ppmv or more so that the resolution ratio, A/B, will not beless than 0.4, whe

24、re A is the depth of the valley on either sideof peak B and B is the height above the baseline of the smallerof any two adjacent peaks (see Fig. 2). For compounds presentin concentrations of less than 20 ppm, the ratio A/B may be lessthan 0.4. In the case where the small-component peak isadjacent to

25、 a large one, it may be necessary to construct thebaseline of the small peak tangent to the curve as shown in Fig.3.6.7.1 Columns used to obtain the results in Fig. 4 usinginstrument conditions in Table 1:6.7.1.1 Column 1, Porous divinylbenzene homopolymer,30 m 0.53 mm6m.6.7.1.2 Column 2, Porous div

33、he preparedsynthetic blend. Multiple levels of blends can be used forgeneration of calibration tables.9.4 The recommended method of measuring peak areas iselectronic integration with capabilities of changing integrationparameters. For each component present in the calibrationstandard, calculate the

34、response factor according to Eq 1.RFi 5 CiAi (1)where:RFi = the response factor for component i,Ci = the known concentration of i, andAi = the integrated area of peak i.9.5 A data system may be used to automate these calcula-tions and to plot peak areas versus concentrations of eachcompound in parts

35、 per million, by mole (mol/mol).10. Procedure10.1 Connect the sample cylinder containing a gaseoussample to the gas sample valve inlet. Sample inlet system shallbe purged thoroughly to eliminate ambient air. Either manualor automated purging may be used and shall be determined tobe reliable when the

36、 lowest calibration standard containingoxygen and nitrogen are repeatable to less than 2 % relativestandard deviation and the concentration is not decreasing fromfive successive injections.10.2 Close the cylinder valve and allow the pressure of thesample in the tube to stabilize.10.3 Inject the samp

37、le into the instrument using the gassampling valve. The same valve should be used for calibrationstandard and sample (pressure of sample and calibration gasmust be the same in the sample loop at injection time).11. Calculation11.1 The data system will automatically record the peakretention times and

38、 areas of the desired components. Thedetector response varies with the component being detected (donot assume equal response).11.2 Using the area of the compound in the sample the datasystem will determine the concentration in mol/mol of thecompound from the calibration table.Atypical characterizati
