23、of Working Standards Prepare four work-ing standards using the 4.0, 10.0, 20.0, and 40.0 mg Mn/Lstandard manganese solutions described in 6.3.8.1.1 Using a micropipet, add 100 L of bromine solution toeach of four separate vials.8.1.2 Pipet 1 mL of each of the four low-manganesestandards into each of
24、 the vials. Mix with the bromine solutionby swirling the vials.8.1.3 Deliver 9.0 mL of methyl isobutyl ketone to each ofthe vials. Mix well. This tenfold dilution of the low-manganesestandards is the same as the final dilution of the sample.8.2 Preparation of InstrumentSet the atomic absorptionspect

27、d check these data for linearity. Ifnonlinear, readjust the sample or acetylene flow rates, or both, slightly toleaner conditions and repeat the calibrations until absorbances are linear.Rotation of the burner head to decrease the absorbance may aid inachieving linearity.NOTE 2Three working standard
28、s may be used to cover the expectedconcentration range of the samples. Fuel specification limits should beconsidered. For example, the use of the high 40 mg/L standard may not benecessary.9. Procedure9.1 Deliver 100 L of bromine solution into a vial.9.2 Add 1.0 mL of the gasoline sample. Mix well.9.
29、3 Add 9.0 mL of methyl isobutyl ketone. Mix well.9.4 Aspirate the working standards and the sample into theflame and record the absorbances of each.NOTE 3Measure absorbances of the working standards and thesamples promptly as the sample absorbances may change with time.10.

35、erlaboratory test resultsfrom eleven samples of motor gasoline, covering concentrationrange of 0.25 to 40 mg/L manganese, run in duplicate byeleven laboratories is as follows:12.1.1 Repeatability The difference between successivetest results, obtained by the same operator with the sameapparatus unde

39、ry Information)X1. QUALITY CONTROLX1.1 Confirm the performance of the instrument or the testprocedure by analyzing a quality control (QC) sample that is,if possible, representative of the samples typically analyzed.X1.2 Prior to monitoring the measurement process, the userof the method needs to dete
40、rmine the average value and controllimits of the QC sample. See Practices D6299, D6300, andMNL 7.6X1.3 Record the QC results and analyze by control charts orother statistically equivalent techniques to ascertain the statis-tical control status of the total testing process. See PracticesD6299, D6300,
41、 and MNL 7.6Any out-of-control data shouldtrigger investigation for root cause(s). The results of thisinvestigation may, but not necessarily, result in instrumentrecalibration.X1.4 In the absence of explicit requirements given in thetest method, the frequency of QC testing is dependent on thecritica
42、lity of the quality being measured, the demonstratedstability of the testing process, and customer requirements.Generally, a QC sample is analyzed each testing day withroutine samples. The QC frequency should be increased if alarge number of samples are routinely analyzed. However,when it is demonst
43、rated that the testing is under statisticalcontrol, the QC testing frequency may be reduced. The QCsample precision should be periodically checked against theASTM method precision to ensure data quality. See PracticeD6300.X1.5 It is recommended that, if possible, the type of QCsample that is regular
44、ly tested be representative of the samplesroutinely analyzed. An ample supply of QC material should beavailable for the intended period of use, and must be homoge-neous and stable under the anticipated storage conditions.X1.6 See Practices D6299, D6300, or MNL 76for furtherguidance on QC and Control
