Procedure9.1 Fill a 1.0-cm referen
39、ce cell with water. Make sure thecell windows are clean. Position the cells in the cell compart-ment of the spectrophotometer and obtain absorbance at thewavelengths of interest within the range from 220 to 400 nm.This data gives a cell correction for the 1.0-cm cell. It can beignored at all wavelen
40、gths where the absorbance is between0.01 and +0.01. After the cell correction data has beendetermined, the cells shall be designated reference and samplecells and shall be maintained as such.9.2 Fill a 1.0-cm sample cell with undiluted liquid sample(after complete removal of water) and obtain the ab
41、sorbance asdescribed in 9.1.9.3 The absorbance-wavelength curve can be convenientlyobtained starting at the long wavelength end of the spectrum.Take readings at successively shorter wavelengths until anabsorbance greater than 1.0 is obtained. When using automaticrecording instruments (recommended) m
42、ake the cell correctionscan and the sample scan on the same chart. In the longerwavelength region of the spectrum, it may be desirable to uselonger path length cells than those recommended to obtainreadable absorbances. See the applicable paragraph of Prac-tices E 169. In the shorter wavelength regi
43、on of the spectrum,absorbances can become too high for accurate measurement inthe 0.1-cm cell. Record these values only as greater than 1.0. Ifnumerical values are required it is recommended that absorp-tivity be measured rather than absorbance.9.4 Repeat 9.1 and 9.2 using a 0.1-cm cell in place of
44、the1.0-cm cell (9.3). Record all measurements.10. Calculation10.1 Calculate the absorbance of an undiluted liquid sampleat each analytical wavelength as follows:A 5 AL2 AC(4)where:A = absorbance of undiluted liquid sample,AL= chart or absorbance reading of sample-filled samplecell, andAC= chart or a
45、bsorbance reading of water-filled samplecell.10.2 Calculate the absorbance per centimetre path lengththat is equal to A/b, where b is the sample cell path length incentimetres.11. Report11.1 If the numerical value of the absorbance of an undi-luted liquid sample is reported, accompany it with a stat
46、ementof the wavelength of measurement and the sample path lengthexpressed in centimetres.11.2 If the numerical value of the absorbance per centimetreof an undiluted liquid sample is reported, it must accompany itwith a statement of the wavelength of measurement.ABSORPTIVITY OF SOLIDS AND LIQUIDS12.
47、Summary of Test Methods12.1 The range of absorptivities for petroleum products canbe very wide. Probably most absorptivities of interest wouldfall in the range from 104to 10 L/gcm.12.2 In determining absorptivities it is necessary to measureabsorbances in the range from 0.1 to 1.0 for optimum result
48、s.This is done by preparing solutions and selecting cells ofsample path length to give absorbances in the 0.1 to 1.0 range.For an individual petroleum product the absorptivity maychange so rapidly with wavelength that it is necessary toprepare several solutions in order to cover the requiredwaveleng
49、th interval. Consideration must be given to theselection of solvent, the selection of concentration levels, andthe selection of sample paths lengths to obtain optimum results.13. Selection of Solvent13.1 Refer to the applicable section of Practices E 169 for abrief discussion of solvents for ultraviolet use. The choice ofsolvent is dictated by the solubility of the petroleum productand the transparency of the solvent in the region of interest.13.2 Use isooctane unless restricted by solubility require-ments.13.3 Use decahydronaphthalene as the first alternativ
