Users should be aware thatselling mercury and/or mercury containing products into yourstate or country may be prohibited by law.10. Laboratory Procedures10.1 Sampling Proce

30、duresSee Practice D7606.10.2 Sample ReceiptExamine the overall condition ofeach sample container; perform leak checks and record obser-vations in a dedicated logbook. Each container should possessan attached sample identification tag that includes the weight ofhydrogen sampled, pressure of hydrogen

31、in the container, thesampling place, date and time of sample collection.10.3 Sample Concentration and AnalysisThe four steps ofsample concentration are described below.10.3.1 Concentration Using a Glass Bead TrapFlow20 mL of the standard containing 100 ppb(v) of each internalstandard (3.2.9) and sur

32、rogate (3.2.15) at a flow rate of100 mL min through a glass bead trap cooled to -150 C.Then, pass 400 mL of a hydrogen sample (10.3.1.1) or knownvolume of gaseous calibration standards, at the same flow rate,through the glass bead trap at -150 C. The flow rate andsample volume passing through the tr

33、ap is established using anelectronic flow controller at the flow outlet end of the trap. Thisprocess will trap all the target compounds, internal standards,surrogates, and trace water contained in the hydrogen sampleor in gaseous calibration standards. However, if the hydrogensample contains the non

34、-hydrogen constituents with theirconcentrations higher than the highest concentration of theinitial calibration (10.4), less volume of the hydrogen samplesshould be used such that the highest compound concentrationis within initial calibration range (10.4). In this case, thereporting limits will be

35、adjusted by multiplying the reportinglimits by a dilution factor, which is 400 mL over the hydrogenvolume (mL) analyzed.10.3.1.1 Method to Flow Hydrogen Sample from HydrogenFuel Sample ContainerThe hydrogen samples after samplingin accordance with Practice D7606 are generally around6.9 MPa (1000 psi

36、). To take a 400 to 500 mL high pressurehydrogen sample directly, as described in 10.3.1, may bechallenging. One method to reduce the hydrogen pressurebefore sample concentration to a more easily handled value isto attach a short electropolished stainless steel (SS) tubing tothe sample container val

37、ve. The other end of the short SStubing is connected through an inlet valve to the inlet line ofthe sample concentration system, as shown in Fig. 1. The shortSS tubing must be evacuated using a vacuum pump beforeD7892 154sample concentration. The hydrogen sample introduction pro-cess is accomplished

38、 by pressurizing the short SS tubing whilethe inlet valve is closed. Then, upon closing the samplecontainer valve, the inlet valve is opened, thus expanding thehigh pressure hydrogen into the sample concentration systemthrough the inlet line; thereby, achieving a lower sampleintroduction pressure. T

39、he process is repeated several timesuntil enough volume of sample taken using an electronic flowcontroller (10.3.1), which is not only controlling and measur-ing the sample flow, but also integrating the total flow so thatthe volume of the sample can be measured in real time.10.3.2 Desorption of the

40、 Target Compounds from the GlassBead Trap to the Tenax TrapDesorb the target compounds onthe glass bead trap at a temperature of 10 C onto a Tenax trapwhich is maintained at -60 C with an UHP hydrogen flow at10 mL/min. This process leaves water in the glass bead trapand dehydrates the samples or sta

41、ndards. The dehydration ofthe samples or standards is important for the analysis offormaldehyde since formaldehyde may not be detected by thismethod without this dehydration step. The reason is probablydue to that formaldehyde is in equilibrium with methanediol,which is more predominating in the pre

42、sent of water. Thisdehydration step is capable of removing the excess water fromthe hydrogen samples containing moisture so that formalde-hyde at low concentration in these hydrogen samples can bedetected.10.3.3 Cryo-focusingThe organic compounds containedon the Tenax trap are desorbed at 180 C for

43、2 min andcyro-focused onto a 0.53 mm ID cryo-focusing column at-170 C.10.3.4 Desorption of Cryo-focusing ColumnThe targetcompounds on the cryo-focusing column are rapidly desorbedat 80 C and released into an analytical capillary column (see6.5).10.3.5 The GC/MS acquisition starts simultaneously upon

44、desorption of the cryo-focusing column. Within the initial4.5 min, the mass spectrometer scans from m/e 23 to 100 toprovide a determination of ethene, ethane, propene, propane,and formaldehyde. The scan is then changed to m/e 34-550 toidentify and quantify the remaining compounds listed in Table1 an

45、d Table 2.10.4 Initial CalibrationThe initial calibration is the se-quential analyses of three to five calibration standards atdifferent concentrations from the lowest concentration at thereporting limits to the highest concentration ten or twenty timesof the reporting limits. The acceptance criteri

46、a for initialcalibrations are listed below.10.4.1 All target compounds in the analysis of the standardat reporting limit must be detected at or above 3 timessignal-to-noise level.10.4.2 The relative standard deviation (%RSD) of the re-sponse factors (RF, 10.1) of each compound in the initialcalibrat

47、ion should be less than 30% to demonstrate the linearityof each compound over initial calibration concentration range.The method blank (10.7) and samples can be analyzed afterinitial calibration within 24 hours from the start of the firstinitial calibration analysis.10.5 Continuous CalibrationThe re

48、porting limit standardis firstly analyzed each day and all the target compounds mustbe detected at or above 3 times signal-to-noise level before thisanalysis can be employed as continuous calibration.

For targetcompounds found in samples above the reporting limits, thedifference of its average initial calibration RF from its dailycontinuous calibration RF are expected to be less than 30 %.10.6 Method Detection Limit DemonstrationRefer to4 CFR136, appendix B (2.2.6).10.7 Method Blank Anal
