3、1. Scope1.1 This test method is for the determination of the total-concentration of acetone, p-chlorobenzotrifluoride, methyl ac-etate, or t-butyl acetate, or combination of any of the four, insolvent-reducible and water-reducible paints, coatings, resins,and raw materials. Because unknown compounds

Summary of Test Method3.1 A suitable aliquot of whole paint is internally standard-ized, diluted with an appropriate solvent, and then injected intoa gas chromatographic column that separates the chosenanalytes from other volatile co

9、mponents. The analyte content isdetermined from area calculations of the materials producingpeaks on the chromatogram.4. Significance and Use4.1 With the need to calculate volatile organic content(VOC) of paints, and with acetone, p-chlorobenzotrifluoride,methyl acetate and t-butyl acetate4considere

10、d as exemptvolatile compounds, it is necessary to know the content ofthese analytes. This gas chromatographic test method providesa relatively simple and direct way to determine their content.However, because the detectors used in this test method are notselective, and because some coatings are very

11、 complex mix-tures, compounds may be present in the sample that coelutewith the analyte, giving a result that is erroneously high. Or acomponent may elute with the internal standard, giving a resultthat is erroneously low. It is therefore important to know thecomposition of the sample to ensure that

12、 there are no interfer-ences, under the analysis conditions used. Test Method D 6438employs mass-spectral detection of analytes and may be usedas an alternative method.5.

The internal standard used should be acompound that is not in t

Mostanalyses can be done utilizing cyclohexanol for the internalstandard providing it is soluble in the diluent solvent. Theresponse factor for each analyte relative to the standard isdetermined by means of the following

30、procedure. It is goodpractice to determine the relative retention time daily or witheach series of determinations.10.2.1 Prepare a standard with the desired analytes and theinternal standard. This is done in the following manner: A7-mL sealable vial is tared on an analytical balance. Eachdesired ana

The suggested solvents do not preclude the selection of any othersolvent for dilution at the analysts discretion.10.2.2 Inject a 1.0 L aliquot of the standard mixture intothe injection port of the gas chromatograph. At the end of thechromatographic run, calibrate the integrator by followi

See Figs. 1-3 for typical chromato-grams using the three listed columns.10.2.3 The response factor of each analyte is calculated asfollows:Ranalyte5

Procedure11.1 Samples are

38、prepared with respect to the amount of theselected analytes in the sample, or the viscosity, or both. Adiluting solvent must be chosen that satisfactorily dissolves thesample and at the same time does not interfere with or obscurethe analyte peaks in the sample. Most samples are easilydissolved in T

39、HF, while a 50/50 blend of nanopure water andTHF will disperse most latex samples.11.2 The prepared sample must be easily dispensed into thesyringe. For this reason, some samples may need to be dilutedfurther. Best results are obtained when the analyte concentra-tion is reduced to about 1 % in the p

40、repared sample. This isaccomplished by diluting the sample (1 g) with1gofdilutingsolvent for every percent of analyte present in the originalsample.11.3 Inject a 1.0 L aliquot of the prepared sample into thechromatographic column. The reporting integrator will displaythe peak retention times and are

41、as of the analytes and internalstandard. The integrator will report the results directly inweight percentages based on the total sample. If a reportingintegrator is not available, manual calculations can be done.11.4 If the sample contains solvent or monomer peakinterferences (for example on a DB-5

42、column, isopropanol hasthe same retention time as acetone), a second capillary columnwith a different phase (FFAP for example) must be used toachieve adequate separation. If available, mass spectral confir-mation may also be used in place of analysis on a secondcolumn, if the mass spectra are suffic
