Summary of Test Method3.1 The gasoline sample is diluted with methyl isobutyl ketone and the alkyl lead components are stabilized
10、 by reaction withiodine and a quaternary ammonium salt. The lead content of the sample is determined by atomic absorption flame spectrometryat 283.3 nm, 283.3 nm, using standards prepared from reagent grade lead chloride.

44、 QUALITY CONTROL MONITORINGX1.1 Confirm the performance of the instrument or the test procedure by analyzing quality control (QC) sample(s).X1.2 Prior to monitoring the measurement process, the user of the method needs to determine the average value and control limitsof the QC sample (see Practice D
45、6299).6X1.3 Record the QC results and analyze by control charts or other statistically equivalent techniques to ascertain the statisticalcontrol status of the total testing process (see Practice D6299).6,7 Investigate any out-of-control data for root cause(s). The resultsof this investigation may, b
46、ut not necessarily, result in instrument re-calibration.X1.4 The frequency of QC testing is dependent on the criticality of the quality being measured, the demonstrated stability of thetesting process, and customer requirements. Generally, a QC sample should be analyzed each testing day with routine
47、 samples. TheQC frequency should be increased if a large number of samples are routinely analyzed. However, when it is demonstrated that thetesting is under statistical control, the QC testing frequency may be reduced. The QC sample testing precision should beperiodically checked against the ASTM te
48、st method precision to ensure data quality (see Practice D6299).6X1.5 It is recommended that, if possible, the type of QC sample that is regularly tested be representative of the material routinelyanalyzed. An ample supply of QC sample material should be available for the intended period of use, and
49、 must be homogeneousand stable under the anticipated storage conditions.X1.6 See Footnotes 6 and 7 for further guidance on QC and Control Charting techniques.SUMMARY OF CHANGESSubcommittee D02.03 has identified the location of selected changes to this standard since the last issue(D3237 06 12)1) that may impact the use of this standard.
