Summary of Test Method4.1 The specimen to be analyzed is injected
16、 into a gaschromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID)and a capillary column. The peak area of each component ismeasured and adjusted using effective carbon number (ECN)response factors. The concentration of each component iscalculated based on its relative percentages of total adj
17、ustedpeak area and normalized to 100.00. To determine the relativedistribution of C8aromatic hydrocarbons, the peak areas ofthose components only are normalized to 100.00.4.2 Results can be reported as either volume or weightpercent. Volumetric results can be derived by dividing eachcomponents weigh
18、t percent by its relative density and re-normalizing to 100 %.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method was primarily developed to determinebenzene, toluene, and xylenes in chemical intermediate andsolvent streams such as reformate, BTX extracts, pyrolysisgasoline, hydrogenated pyrolysis gasoline,
19、 crude benzene,crude ethylbenzene, commercial toluene, and light blendingaromatic feedstocks. This test method may not detect allcomponents and there may be unknown components thatwould be assigned inappropriate response factors and thus, theresults may not be absolute.5.2 The relative distribution
20、of C8aromatics is useful fordetermining conformance to p-xylene feedstock specifications.6. Interferences6.1 Nonaromatic hydrocarbons may interfere with the de-termination of benzene and toluene when certain columns areused.6.2 Styrene may be present in some samples. It will elutewith C9+ aromatics.
21、7. Apparatus7.1 Gas ChromatographAny gas chromatograph having aflame ionization detector and a splitter injector suitable for usewith a fused silica capillary column may be used, provided thesystem has sufficient sensitivity, linearity, and range to obtain aminimum peak height response for a 0.01 %
22、peak of five timesthe height of the signal background noise, while not exceedingthe full scale of either the detector or the electronic integrationfor the highest peak. The split injection system shall notdiscriminate over the boiling range of the samples analyzed.The system shall be capable of oper
23、ating at the conditionsgiven in Table 1.7.2 ColumnsThe choice of column is based upon resolu-tion requirements. Any column may be used that is capable ofresolving all the components of interest.
