Summary of Practice4.1 Procedure ATo estimate the concentration of TCE in asoil known to contain TCE contamination, a sample of the soilis added to
11、a glass jar having an open-top cap with aPTFE-bonded silicone septum. At the time of screening, thetemperature of the soil in the jar should be approximately 50 to120 F (10 to 49 C). The soil in the jar is shaken and allowedto settle for 10 min, so the TCE can partition into the headspaceabove the s
12、oil. After 10 min, the TCE concentration in theheadspace is measured using a heated diode sensor device,which gives a numerical voltage reading. The voltage readingfrom the device is converted to a mg/m3value of TCE in theheadspace in the container. Using this value, an estimatedconcentration of TCE

17、stablished in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.1the soil in the jar should be approximately 50 to 120 F (10 to49 C). The soil in the jar is shaken an
18、d allowed to settle for10 min, so the HVOC can partition into the headspace abovethe soil.After 10 min, the heated diode sensor device is used toscreen the headspace in the container. The numerical voltagereading from the device indicates the presence or absence ofHVOC contamination in the soil. Any
19、 HVOC contaminationremaining in the soil is not detected by this procedure.4.2 Procedure BTo estimate the concentration of TCE inwater known to contain TCE contamination, a sample of thewater is added to a glass jar having an open-top cap with aPTFE-bonded silicone septum. At the time of screening,
20、thetemperature of the water in the jar should be approximately 50to 120 F (10 to 49 C). The water in the jar is shaken, allowedto settle for 1 min, shaken again, and allowed to settle for1 min, so the TCE can partition into the headspace above thewater. After the sample is allowed to settle for the
21、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 headspace in the container. Usingthis value, an estimated concentration of TCE in th
22、e water inmg/L can be calculated. Any TCE remaining in the watersample is not measured by this procedure. Any other HVOCpresent in the water will be reported as TCE.4.2.1 To use Procedure B to screen water suspected ofcontaining HVOC contamination, a sample of the water isadded to a glass jar having
23、 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 to120 F (10 to 49 C). The water in the jar is shaken, allowed tosettle for 1 min, shaken again, and allowed to settle for 1 min,so the TCE can partition
24、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 deviceindicates the presence or absence of HVOC contamination inthe water. Any HVOC cont
25、amination remaining in the water isnot detected by this procedure.5. Significance and Use5.1 The heated diode sensor device used in this practice isselective for HVOCs. Other electronegative compounds, suchas alcohols, ketones, nitrates, and sulfides, may cause a positiveinterference with the perfor
26、mance of the heated diode sensor todetect HVOCs, but to do so, they must be present at muchhigher concentrations than the HVOCs.NOTE 2For volatile organic compound (VOC) screening purposes, aflame ionization detector (FID) selectively responds to flammable VOCs;a photoionization detector (PID) selec
27、tively responds to VOCs having adouble bond; and a heated diode sensor selectively responds to haloge-nated VOCs.5.2 This practice can be used for screening media known tocontain TCE to estimate the concentration of TCE in the media.Procedure A is to be used for screening soil known to containTCE an
28、d Procedure B is to be used for screening water knownto contain TCE. Both Procedures A and B involve measuringthe TCE concentration in the headspace above a sample. Fromthis measurement, an estimated concentration of TCE in thesample can be determined. Any TCE remaining in the sampleis not measured
29、by this practice. Any other HVOC present inthe sample will be reported as TCE.5.3 This practice can also be used for screening the head-space above a soil or water suspected of containing HVOCcontamination to indicate the presence or absence of HVOCcontamination in the soil (Procedure A) or water (P
30、rocedureB). Any HVOC contamination remaining in the sample is notdetected by this practice.5.4 Detection LimitThe detection limit of the heated diodesensor for TCE is 0.1 mg/m3in air, based on a signal-to-noiseratio of 2. For a 25-g TCE-contaminated soil sample in a250-mL container, the detection li
31、mit of Procedure A for TCEis 0.001 mg/Kg, assuming complete partitioning of TCE intothe headspace. For a 25-g TCE-contaminated water sample ina 250-mLcontainer, the detection limit of Procedure B for TCEis 0.001 mg/L, assuming complete partitioning of TCE into theheadspace.5.5 This practice can be u
32、sed to screen moist soil samplesand water samples. Water vapor does not interfere with theperformance of the heated diode sensor.5.6 Hydrocarbon fuels, including fuels containing aromaticcompounds, such as gasoline, are not detected by the practice.6.

34、d Diode Sensor Device, a device having a diodesensor that is heated between temperatures ranging fromapproximately 600 to 1000 C generating an alkali metal vaporstream that selectively reacts with halogens present in HVOCmolecules, creating ionized product species that cause a currentto flow between
35、 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 above thesample are drawn through a probe to the heated diode sensor bya pump in th
36、e 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 sample. This needlemust be designed to allow make-up air to enter the sample jarfrom th
37、e top so that back pressure will not build up within thejar. 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 having a stainless steelvalve with a nipple fitting that can be opened and closed.6.1.7 Gas Regu
38、lators, for use with the TCE standard gascylinders (see 7.1). Each regulator should have a short length,D7203 11 (2017)2about 114 in., of14-in. inner diameter fluoroelastomer tubingattached to the nipple fitting.6.2 Procedure A:6.2.1 Metal or Rigid Plastic Coring Tools, designed forcollecting and tr
39、ansferring a 25-g soil VOC sample (see GuideD4547 and 8.1.1).7. Reagents and Materials7.1 TCE Standard Gas CylindersThese are transportablecylinders containing certified concentrations of TCE in airpressurized to about 320 psi. If the practice is being used toscreen a TCE-contaminated media to estim
40、ate 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 concentration is 22 6 1 ppmv TCE in air, whichis the mid concentration TCE standard gas.
41、 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/m3TCE in air at 1 atm ofpressure. A 22 ppmv TCE standard gas at 25 C corresponds toa
42、bout 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 practice is being used to screen a mediasuspected of containing HVOC contamination to indicate thepresence or absence of HVOC contamination, only the highconcentration T
43、CE standard gas, 220 6 10 ppmv TCE in air, isrequired.NOTE 3For HVOC concentrations in air that are greater than10 mg m3, the current that is generated by the reaction between thehalogen and the alkali metal vapor when the sensor is exposed to theHVOC is a function of the log of the concentration of
44、 the halogen in air.The log of 890 is 2.9, and the log of 1200 is 3.1, showing that the logvalues of these concentrations vary only slightly. Similarly, the log of 90is 1.9, and the log of 120 is 2.1. These values show that the log of the TCEconcentration in air varies only slightly at different ele
45、vations (atmosphereof 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 temperature, and Eq 5 and Eq 6,which are given in 13.6 or Eq 20 and Eq 21, which are given in 18

Sample Collection and Preparation8.1 Procedure A:8.1.1 Collect a soil sample of approximately 25 g using ametal or rigid plastic coring tool. See Guide D4547 forrecommended devi
47、ces. 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 GuideD4547 and should be stored as specified in Guide D4547.8.1.2 Pre-weigh a 250-mL glass jar with an open-top caphaving a PTFE-bonded silico
48、ne septum. Record the mass of thejar with the cap to 60.1 g.8.1.3 Extrude the soil sample from the coring tool into thepre-weighed 250-mL glass jar and immediately seal the jarmaking sure that there are no soil particles on the sealingsurfaces.8.1.4 Weigh the jar-plus-soil sample and record the mass
49、 ofthe jar-plus-soil sample to 60.1 g.8.1.5 Determine the mass of soil added to the jar, and recordthe mass of the soil sample to 60.1 g.8.1.6 The temperature of the soil in the sample jar should beapproximately 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 t
