2、 or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover the determination of theamounts of the individual
3、fatty acids and rosin acids infractionated tall oil products, using capillary gas chromato-graphic separation of the volatile methyl esters of these acids.1.2 Four methods for forming the methyl esters, and twomethods for determining the amounts of the individual fattyacids and rosin acids are descr
4、ibed.1.2.1 The classic method for the formation of methyl estersis through the use of diazomethane, but diazomethane is ahazardous and toxic material, and so is no longer the preferredreagent. The use of diazomethane is detailed in the Appendix.Methyl esters may be formed through the use of tetramet
5、hy-lammonium hydroxide (TMAH), trimethylphenylammoniumhydroxide (TMPAH), or N,N-dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (DMF-DMA).1.2.2 The two methods for determining the amount of theindividual fatty acids and rosin acids are the “internal standard”method, which yields absolute values, and the “area perc
6、ent”method, which yields relative values.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory

8、ignificance and Use3.1 Tall oil fractionated products derived from tall oil areimportant commercial materials, primarily composed of fattyacids and rosin acids, but also containing some neutral material(see Terminology D 804). For many applications, it is neces-sary to know the level of the individu
9、al fatty acids and rosinacids present in these products. Gas chromatography hasproven to be a useful tool for such determinations (see TestMethods D 509), and capillary chromatography, described inthese test methods, is considered to be the most effective gaschromatographic technique currently avail
10、able. In particularsituations, other techniques may be more suitable than gaschromatography. For example, the presence of fatty acid estersin the sample would result in transesterification during thederivatization step that may affect the results.3.2 Due to hydrogen bonding, unmodified tall oil fatt
11、y acidsand rosin acids cannot be volatilized at atmospheric pressurewithout undergoing decomposition. So, it is necessary toconvert the free acids to the more volatile and more stablemethyl esters, prior to chromatographic separation.3.3 These test methods describe four ways to preparemethyl esters.
12、 The classic method is through the use ofdiazomethane, but diazomethane is a hazardous and toxicmaterial, and so is no longer the preferred agent. The use ofdiazomethane is detailed in the Appendix.3.3.1 TMAH causes isomerization of a samples di- andpolyunsaturated fatty acids, when it is used in ev
13、en a slightexcess. This leads to inaccurate results for the individual fattyacid components. TMAH should be used for materials contain-ing only rosin acids, or when the identification or quantitationof individual fatty acid components is not important.3.3.2 TMPAH is the recommended methylating agent
14、 whenthe identification or quantitation of individual di- and polyun-saturated fatty acids is required. TMPAH produces results thatare very similar to those of diazomethane, but without thehazards that are associated with diazomethane. A considerableexcess of TMPAH may cause isomerization of conjuga
15、tedcompounds similar to that encountered with TMAH.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 onPaint and Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications and are the directresponsibility of Subcommittee D01.34 on Naval Stores.Current edition approved Dec. 1, 2005.

However, the reagent is moisturesensitive, requiring samples to be free of a
18、ny significant levelsof water.3.4 Two test methods for calculating the amounts of theindividual fatty acid and rosin acid methyl esters are includedin these test methods. When the actual weight percentage of agiven compound is required, the “internal standard” methodmust be used. This method involve
19、s adding a known amount ofan internal standard to a known amount of test material, andcomparing the area of the peak associated with the internalstandard with the area of the peak of the individual fatty acidor rosin acid methyl esters. The “area percent” method willgive the relative amount of each
20、component, by comparing thearea of the appropriate peak to the total area of all peaks.Non-eluting compounds will lead to erroneous (absolute)results with this method.PREPARATION OF METHYL ESTERSNOTE 1Any of these three methods can be used, with the choice beingdependent on the factors mentioned in
