9、wn amount of internal standard is added to asample of isopropylbenzene. The prepared sample is mixedand analyzed by a gas chromatograph equipped with a flameionization detector (FID). The peak area of each impurity andthe internal standard is measured and the amount of eachimpurity is calculated fro

10、m the ratio of the peak area of theinternal standard versus the peak area of the impurity. Purity byGC (the isopropylbenzene content) is calculated by subtractingthe sum of the impurities found from 100.00. Results arereported in weight percent.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method is suitable

11、 for setting specifications onthe materials referenced in 1.2 and for use as an internal qualitycontrol tool where isopropylbenzene is produced or is used ina manufacturing process. It may also be used in developmentor research work involving isopropylbenzene.4.2 This test method is useful in determ
