Caution should also be exercised whenanalyzing olefin-free samples using this test method as some of the paraffins may be reported as olefins since analysis is basedpurely on retention times of the eluting componen

Helium carrier gas transports the vaporized sample through thecolumn, in which it is partitioned into individual components which are sensed with a flame ionization detector as they elute fromthe end of the column. The detector signal is recorded digitally

Each elutingcomponent is identified by comparing its retention time to that established by analyzing reference standards or samples underidentical conditions. The concentration of each component in mass %percent is determined by normalization of the p
