Scope 1.1 This test method describes an analytical

3、procedure for identifying and quantifying the masses of individual volatile organic compounds (individual VOCs or IVOCs) that are emitted into a ow of air from carpet specimens and collected on sorbent sampling tubes during emissions testing. 1.2 This test method will be used in conjunction with a s

4、tandard practice for sampling and preparing carpet specimens for emissionstesting.Ifaspecicchamberpracticeisnotavailableforthecarpetspecimens,thisstandardtestmethodshouldbeused in conjunction with approved standard practices for emissions testing and sample preparation. 1.3 When used in conjunction

5、with standard practices for carpet specimen preparation and collection of vapor-phase emissions , this test method will provide a standardized means of determining the levels of IVOC in the exhaust stream of the emissions test chamber/cell. If this test method is used with a reliable practice for em

6、issions testing, these IVOC levels can be used to determine the emission rate from a unit quantity (usually surface area) of the sample material under test. 1.4 VOCs in the exhaust stream of an emissions test device are collected on thermal desorption tubes packed with a specic combination of sorben

7、ts using active (pumped) sampling. (See Practice D6196 for a more general description of vapor collection using pumped sampling onto sorbent tubes). The samples are analyzed by thermal desorption (TD) with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry detection (GC/MS) and/or ame ionization detection (FI

8、D) depending upon the requirements of the specic materials emissions testing/certication protocol. 1.5 This test method can be used for the measurement of most GC-compatible organic vapors ranging from the approximate volatility from n-hexane to n-hexadecane (that is, compounds with vapor pressures

9、ranging from 16 kPa to 4 10 -4 kPa at 25C). Properties other than a compounds vapor pressure such as affinity for the sorbent may need to be taken into account. Compounds with vapor pressures outside this range may or may not be quantiable by this method. However, qualitative data concerning the ide

10、ntity of a compound(s), outside the stated volatility range for quantitation, may still be useful to the user. The method can be applied to analytes over a wide concentration rangetypically 1 g/m 3 to 1 mg/m 3 concentration of vapor in the exhaust air from the emission cell or chamber. 1.6 This test

11、 method is not capable of quantifying all compounds which are emitted from carpets. See the appropriate test practices/methodsfordeterminingothercompoundsthatarenotamenabletoanalysisbygaschromatography(thatis,TestMethod D5197 for the determination of aldehydes). 1.7 UnitsThe values stated in SI unit

12、s are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health p
