17、 having an open-top cap with aPTFE-bonded silicone septum. At the time of screening, thetemperature of the water in the jar should be approximately 50to 120 F (10 to 49 C).

After the sample is allowed to settle for the second time,the TCE concentration in the headspace is measured using aheated diode sensor device, which gives a numerical voltagereading. The voltage reading from the device is converted to amg/m3value of TCE in the

Any other HVOCpresent in the water will be reported as TCE.4.2.1 To use Procedure B to screen water suspected
20、 ofcontaining HVOC contamination, a sample of the water isadded to a glass jar having an open-top cap with a PTFE-bonded silicone septum. At the time of screening, the tempera-ture of the water in the jar should be approximately 50 to 120F (10 to 49 C). The water in the jar is shaken, allowed tosett
21、le for 1 min, shaken again, and allowed to settle for 1 min,so the TCE can partition into the headspace above the water.After the sample is allowed to settle for the second time, theheated diode sensor device is used to screen the headspace inthe container. The numerical voltage reading from the dev
22、iceindicates the presence or absence of HVOC contamination inthe water. Any HVOC contamination remaining in the water isnot detected by this procedure.5. Significance and Use5.1 The heated diode sensor device used in this test methodis selective for HVOCs. Other electronegative compounds,such as alc
23、ohols, ketones, nitrates, and sulfides, may cause apositive interference with the performance of the heated diodesensor to detect HVOCs, but to do so, they must be present atmuch higher concentrations than the HVOCs.NOTE 2For volatile organic compound (VOC) screening purposes, aflame ionization dete
24、ctor (FID) selectively responds to flammable VOCs;a photoionization detector (PID) selectively responds to VOCs having adouble bond; and a heated diode sensor selectively responds to haloge-nated VOCs.5.2 This test method can be used for screening media knownto contain TCE to estimate the concentrat
25、ion of TCE in themedia. Procedure A is to be used for screening soil known tocontain TCE and Procedure B is to be used for screening waterknown to contain TCE. Both Procedures A and B involvemeasuring the TCE concentration in the headspace above asample. From this measurement, an estimated concentra
26、tion ofTCE in the sample can be determined. Any TCE remaining inthe sample is not measured by this test method. Any otherHVOC present in the sample will be reported as TCE.5.3 This test method can also be used for screening theheadspace above a soil or water suspected of containing HVOCcontamination
27、 to indicate the presence or absence of HVOCcontamination in the soil (Procedure A) or water (ProcedureB). Any HVOC contamination remaining in the sample is notdetected by this test method.5.4 Quantitation LimitThe quantitation limit of ProcedureA is dependent on the soil-to-headspace ratio in the s
28、amplecontainer and the HVOC in the soil. For a 25-g TCE-contaminated soil sample in a 250-mL container, the quantita-tion limit for TCE is 0.005 mg/Kg, based on a signal-to-noiseratio of 10. The quantitation limit of Procedure B is dependenton the water-to-headspace ratio in the sample container and
29、 theHVOC in the water. For a 25-g TCE-contaminated watersample in a 250-mL container, the quantitation limit for TCE is0.005 mg/L, based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 10.5.5 Detection LimitThe detection limit of the heateddiode sensor for TCE is 0.1 mg/m3in air, based on asignal-to-noise ratio of 2.
30、 For a 25-g TCE-contaminated soilsample in a 250-mL container, the detection limit of ProcedureA for TCE is 0.001 mg/Kg, assuming complete partitioning ofTCE into the headspace. For a 25-g TCE-contaminated watersample in a 250-mL container, the detection limit of ProcedureB for TCE is 0.001 mg/L, as
31、suming complete partitioning ofTCE into the headspace.5.6 This test method can be used to screen moist soilsamples and water samples.

34、 HVOCmolecules, creating ionized product species that cause a currentto flow between a cathode and an anode. The numerical outputfrom the sensor in volts is proportional to a microamp currentfrom the diode and ranges from 0.001 to 20 V with a resolutionof 0.001 V. The HVOC molecules in the headspace
35、 above thesample are drawn through a probe to the heated diode sensor bya pump in the device. The heated diode sensor device shouldhave a needle attached to the probe of the device so the septumin the cap of the sample jar can be pierced and the needle canbe inserted into the headspace above the sam
36、ple. This needlemust be designed to allow make-up air to enter the sample jarfrom the top so that back pressure will not build up within theD720306e12jar. Back pressure in the jar will change the air flow rate of thedevice and in turn affect the voltage reading.6.1.6 Tedlar Bags, 1 Lin volume and ha

Reagents and Materials7.1 TCE Standard Gas CylindersThese are transportablecylinders containing certified concentrations of TCE in airpressurized to about 32
39、0 psi. If the test method is being used toscreen a TCE-contaminated media to estimate the concentra-tion of TCE in the media, two concentrations of TCE arerequired. One concentration is 220 6 10 vapor part per million(ppmv) TCE in air. This is the high concentration TCE standardgas. The other concen
40、tration is 22 6 1 ppmv TCE in air, whichis the mid concentration TCE standard gas. These concentra-tions correlate with the upper and mid range of sensor responsefor the device. A 220 ppmv TCE standard gas at 25 Ccorresponds to about 890 mg/m3TCE in air at 0.75 atm ofpressure and to about 1200 mg/m3
41、TCE in air at 1 atm ofpressure. A 22 ppmv TCE standard gas at 25 C corresponds toabout 90 mg/m3TCE in air at 0.75 atm of pressure and to about120 mg/m3TCE in air at 1 atm of pressure. See Note 3 andNote 4. If the test method is being used to screen a mediasuspected of containing HVOC contamination t
42、o indicate thepresence or absence of HVOC contamination, only the highconcentration TCE standard gas, 220 6 10 ppmv TCE in air, isrequired.NOTE 3For HVOC concentrations in air that are greater than 10mg/m3, the current that is generated by the reaction between the halogenand the alkali metal vapor w
43、hen the sensor is exposed to the HVOC is afunction of the log of the concentration of the halogen in air. The log of890 is 2.9, and the log of 1200 is 3.1, showing that the log values of theseconcentrations vary only slightly. Similarly, the log of 90 is 1.9, and thelog of 120 is 2.1. These values s
44、how that the log of the TCE concentrationin air varies only slightly at different elevations (atmosphere of pressure).NOTE 4The mg/m3concentrations of the TCE in the standard gascylinders can be calculated using the ppmv concentrations of TCE in thecylinders, the atmospheric pressure, the temperatur

Sample Collection and Preparation8.1 Procedure A:8.1.1 Collect a soil sample of approximate
46、ly 25 g using ametal or rigid plastic coring tool. See Guide D 4547 forrecommended devices. If the sample will be stored in thecoring tool prior to screening, it should be collected using acoring tool designed for sample storage as described in GuideD 4547 and should be stored as specified in Guide

49、50 to 120 F (10 to 49 C) prior to screening thesample using the heated diode sensor, so that HVOC partition-ing into the headspace above the sample will occur (see Note5). The sample jar should not be opened to determine the soiltemperature. The ambient temperature where the screening isto be performed should be in the range of 50 to 120 F (10 to49 C) (see Note 6), and the soil sample should be allowed tocome to approximately that temperature prior to screening(Section 12).NOTE 5The temperature at which the screening is performed mayaffect the HVOC conce
