Summary of Test Method3.1 The samples are prepared to c

8、onform with the require-ments of the method of standard additions, which is selected toobviate problems encountered with the direct analysis oftypical gas turbine fuels that exhibit significant variations inphysical properties. Different, but known, amounts of analyteare added to two portions of sam

9、ple. These, together with theunaltered sample, are burned in the flame of an atomicabsorption instrument that measures light absorption by theatomized metals. The analysis of the sample portions withadded analyte provides the calibration information necessary tocalculate the analyte content of the u

10、naltered sample.3.2 Lead is determined by atomic absorption in a premixedair-acetylene flame, and sodium is determined by atomicabsorption or atomic emission in a premixed air-acetyleneflame. Calcium and vanadium are determined by atomicabsorption or atomic emission in a premixed nitrous oxide-acety

11、lene flame.3.3 Most experience with this test method has been in theatomic absorption mode, although flame emission has beenused successfully. Details in the subsequent sections arewritten for the atomic absorption mode. If the flame emissionmode is used, minor details in the subsequent sections mus

The precision statement applies only to theatomic absorption mode.NOTE 1Some GT fuel users may wish to determine potassium inaddition to other metals included in this method. Potassium can bedetermined in a manner similar to

Optimize experimentalconditions by adjusting the burner position (relative to thehollow cathode beam), the flow rates of the fuel and oxidantgases, and the sample aspiration ra

39、te until the net leadabsorption signal maximizes. Re-zero the instrument with1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene nebulizing, and consecutivelyintroduce into the flame the unaltered sample and the twospiked samples, with 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene nebulizingbetween each sample. Record the absorption sig

If a large drift

47、 in blanksignals is observed during a series of measurements, some experimentalparameter is out of control. The cause of the variation should be corrected,and the measurements repeated.9.2 For each element in turn, calculate sensitivities asfollows:S0.55 2 a12 a2! (2)S1.05 a32 a2! (3)S 5 S0.51S1.0!/
