Summary of Test Method4.1 A sample of gasoline is i
11、ntroduced into a liquid samplecell. A beam of infrared light is imaged through the sampleonto a detector, and the detector response is determined.Regions of the infrared spectrum are selected for use in theanalysis by either placing highly selective bandpass filtersbefore or after the sample or math
12、ematically selecting theregions after the whole spectrum is obtained. A multivariatemathematical analysis is carried out which converts the detec-tor response for the selected regions in the spectrum of anunknown to a concentration for each component.5.

26、d using method(s) specified by governmentalregulatory agencies or by the procedures outlined in PracticeD4057 (or equivalent). Do not use the “Sampling by WaterDisplacement” method as some alcohols or ethers might beextracted into the water phase.8.1.3 Protect samples from excessive temperatures pri

Discardand obtain a new sample if leaks are detected.8.1.5 Perform the oxygenate determination on fresh samplesfrom containers that are at leas

If sample containersare less than 80 % full or have been opened and sampledmultiple times, a new sample shall be obtained.8.2 Sample Handling During Analysis:8.2.1 Prior to the analysis of samples by infrared spectros-copy, the samples should be allowed to equilibrate to thetemperature
29、at which they should be analyzed (15 to 38C).8.2.2 After withdrawing the sample, reseal the container,and store the sample in an ice bath or a refrigerator at 0 to 5C.9. Preparation, Calibration, and Qualification of theInfrared Test Apparatus9.1 PreparationPrepare the instrument for operation inacc
30、ordance with the manufacturers instructions.9.2 CalibrationEach instrument must be calibrated by themanufacturer or user in accordance with Practice E1655. Thispractice serves as a guide for the multivariate calibration ofinfrared spectrometers used in determining the physical char-acteristics of pe
31、troleum and petrochemical products. Theprocedures describe treatment of the data, development of thecalibration, and qualification of the instrument. Note that biasand slope adjustments are specifically not recommended toimprove calibration or prediction statistics for IR multivariatemodels.9.3 Qual
32、ification of InstrumentThe instrument must bequalified according to the procedure inAnnexA1 to ensure thatthe instrument accurately and precisely measures each oxygen-ate in the presence of typical gasoline compounds or otheroxygenates that, in typical concentrations, present spectralinterferences.
33、General classes of compounds that will causeinterferences include aromatics, branched aliphatic hydrocar-bons, and other oxygenates.10. Quality Control Standards10.1 Confirm the proper operation of the instrument eachday it is used by analyzing at least one quality control standardof known oxygenate
34、 content for each oxygenate to be deter-mined. These standards should be made up by mass accordingto Practice D4307 and should be at the expected concentrationlevel for that oxygenate. The recommended quality controlstandard concentrations are found in Table 1.10.2 The individual oxygenate values ob
35、tained must agreewithin 6 5 % relative of the values in the prepared qualityD5845 01 (2011)2control standard (for example, MTBE 14.0 6 0.7 mass %) orto within 6 0.3 mass % absolute, whichever is greater (forexample, methanol 4.0 6 0.3 mass % ). If the individual valuesare outside the specified range
36、, recalibrate the instrumentaccording to the procedures in 9.2. The quality control stan-dards should not be used for the calibration or recalibration ofthe instrument. Do not analyze samples without meeting thequality control specifications.11. Procedure11.1 Equilibrate the samples to between 15 an
37、d 38C beforeanalysis.11.2 Follow the manufacturers instructions for establishinga baseline for the instrument, introducing a sample into thesample cell and operating the instrument. If the instructionscall for a non-oxygenated gasoline to be used in establishingthe baseline, use a non-oxygenated gas
38、oline that is differentfrom the non-oxygenated gasolines used in the preparation ofeither calibration standards, validation of qualification samples,or quality control standards.11.3 Thoroughly clean the sample cell by introducingenough sample to the cell to ensure the cell is washed aminimum of thr
