Scope1.1 This test method covers determination of the amount ofresidual solvents released from within a packaging material
3、contained in a sealed vial under a given set of time andtemperature conditions and is a recommended alternative forTest Method F151.1.2 This test method covers a procedure for quantitatingvolatile compounds whose identity has been established andwhich are retained in packaging materials.1.3 The anal
4、yst should determine the sensitivity and repro-ducibility of the method by carrying out appropriate studies onthe solvents of interest. The analyst is referred to Practice E260for guidance.1.4 For purposes of verifying the identity of or identifyingunknown volatile compounds the analyst is encourage
5、d toincorporate techniques such as gas chromatography/massspectroscopy, gas chromatography/infrared spectroscopy orother suitable techniques in conjunction with this test method.1.5 Sensitivity of this test method in the determination ofthe concentration of a given retained solvent must be deter-min
6、ed on a case by case basis due to the variation in thesubstrate/solvent interaction between different types ofsamples.1.6 This test method does not address the determination oftotal retained solvents in a packaging material. Techniquessuch as multiple headspace extraction can be employed to thisend.

Interferences6.1 Gas ChromatographyBecause of the potentially largenumber of chemical species that can be analyzed using thismethodology, not all species will be resolved from one anotheron a particular GC column under a given se

Good judgment in the interpretation ofchromatographic results is always important. Refer t

35、pare blanks by heating a sample of the packagingmaterial of interest (enough sample can be prepared at one timefor several analysis runs) in a vacuum oven at 90C for 24 h.Remove the blanks and store in a closed container. Blanksshould be cut to the same relative size as the sample prior toheating in
36、 the vacuum oven.9.1.2 To prepare a calibration standard place a blank (cut toappropriate size) in the 20 mL headspace vial and add theappropriate amount of standard solvent mix to the vial.Immediately cap and crimp the vial with the Teflon side of theseptum toward the vial. It is suggested that bla
37、nks be fortifiedat five different concentrations along with an unfortified blankbe prepared for calibration. See Practice E260 for guidance.9.2 Manual Injection:9.2.1 If using a syringe and hot air oven, heat each vial for20 min at 90C. Ensure that the syringe is heated to at least90C before taking
38、headspace samples from the vials forinjection into the chromatograph.NOTE 2When handling the hot syringe be sure that hands areadequately protected. Fill the gas tight syringe with 1 mL of air, closevalve and insert the needle through the septum into the preheated vial.Open valve, inject the air int
39、o vial. Draw12 mL of gas from vial intosyringe, inject back into vial. Repeat 2 times. Draw exactly 1 mL of gasinto syringe and close valve. Insert needle into injector of GC and inject.NOTE 3Consistent technique from injection to injection of standardsand sample is required. This step should take n
40、o more than 30 s.9.3 Automated InjectionThe recommended method of in-jecting the headspace gas into the GC is use of an automatedheadspace sampling system where the vials are heated to 90Cfor 20 min and then the headspace of each vial is automaticallyinjected onto the GC column.9.4 Repeat the proced
41、ure for all five calibration standardsand the blank.9.5 Construct a standard calibration curve from the dataobtained using standard techniques as defined in Practice E260.NOTE 4Longer heating times may be used if it is deemed necessary toensure that the solvent in the headspace of the vial has total
42、ly equilibratedwith the sample.10. Sampling10.1 Samples should be taken in such a manner as torepresent the entire web. The analyst should cut several layersdeep into a roll of packaging material, discarding the outerlayers, to ensure the sampling is representative of the entireroll. Samples should
43、be taken from the left, center and rightside of the web.NOTE 5Consideration should also be given when sampling rollswithin a production lot to ensure uniformity within the production run.10.2 Samples should be taken and handled in such a way asto minimize loss of solvent from the sample between the
44、timethe sample is taken, cut and loaded into the sample vial. Takingsamples at press side, cutting and loading into vials immedi-ately is the preferred method.Alternately, full web samples canbe collected at press side and placed in a sealed container(samples can also be wrapped tightly in foil) for
45、 transport to thelab for cutting and loading into vials.10.3 When taking samples from roll stock, discard the first8 to 10 layers before taking samples from the next 30 to 40layers to ensure that the samples are representative of the entireroll.10.4 When possible, samples should have 100 % ink cov-e
46、rage in the area selected for testing. Selecting an area with100 % ink coverage will ensure that the testing will elucidate aworst case. Using a sample area with representative inkcoverage may also be considered.10.5 The sample size is dictated by the thickness of thesample and the ease of filling t
47、he vial. The sample size willvary from 5 to 50 in.2Typically, the vial will be less than 20 %full by volume. Alternately the ratio of the weight of thesample in grams to the volume of the vial in millilitres shouldnot exceed 1 to 10. In the case of a 20-mL sample vial, theweight of the sample should
48、 not exceed 2 g.10.6 The preferred method of cutting samples is the use ofa punch press or die.10.7 Add the appropriate amount of internal standard (ifused) to the vial.10.8 Immediately cap and crimp the vial with the Teflonside of the septa toward the vial.11.
