If possible, the test sample shall be taken out of the finished part of the material or the component. 3.3.1.1 In exceptional cases (e.g., if only one material of a component is to be tested, or if the comp

17、lete component is not available), tests can be conducted on specially prepared parts. 3.3.1.2 The sample should be taken within 7 days after production. The production date and sampling should be documented. Care should be taken to prevent material from thermal desorption before analysis (package, r

18、efrigerate). 3.3.1.3 A representative material sample (smaller samples) have to cut out from large components to a size of 10 cm x 15 cm. The sample shall be handled with protective gloves and the cutting shall be done with an oil-free tool such as a disposable razor blade. The sample should be pack

19、ed by aluminum composite films (e.g., VACUPAC or any other material according to DIN 55531) prior to shipping. In the exceptional case, the sample can be packed twice into thick silicone-free aluminum foil (pre-cleaned with n-pentane). The edges should be folded multiple times to prevent contaminati

20、on from outside and to ensure an air-tight packing. The aluminum foil packed sample should then be packed additionally and placed in a polyethylene bag. The bag shall be labeled with sample identification (ID) number; final sample name (cannot be changed or altered afterwards), production date and s

21、ampling date shall be recorded in Appendix D, Data Sheet D1. If this information is missing, the sample should not be analyzed. 3.3.2 Removing Test Pieces. The test pieces shall be removed from suitable and representative areas spread evenly across the width of the part. They must be taken 50 mm fro

22、m the edge of the part. 3.3.3 The size of each test piece is nominally 40 mm x 100 mm x thickness. If the size of the molded part is smaller or the distance of 50 mm to the edge of the part is not possible, this test may also be performed using smaller test pieces. Here, care must be taken to ensure

23、 that all the edges of test pieces are freshly cut. To fasten the test piece, a hole corresponding to the diameter of the hook is drilled near its center, 10 mm from the upper edge. 3.3.3.1 For small parts, at least 3 samples must be taken from each part. Two (2) parts are used for determining aldeh

24、ydes/ketones and 1 part is used to determine the moisture content. 3.3.4 If the testing of the samples cannot take place immediately, they must be stored in cool, air-tight conditions with a minimal air volume. Storage time should not exceed 5 days. Copyright General Motors Company Provided by IHS u

Sampling of the test pieces require

26、s 3 h in the oven and 1 h of cool down. Sampling is best conducted for several materials in parallel in individual bottles in the oven. The determination of aldehydes/ketones by derivatization and HPLC is conducted serially with each sample requiring 30 minutes 5 minutes. 3.5 Test Required Informati

27、on. Material component information such as vendor name, production date, pretreatment, etc., should be recorded in Appendix D, Data Sheet D1. 3.6 Personnel/Skills. Proper training is required to process the samples and operate the HPLC instrument. A professional degree in chemistry, chemical enginee

28、ring or the health sciences, and familiarity with the operation of HPLC instrumentation is required. 4 Procedure 4.1 Preparation. 4.1.1 Determining the Moisture Content. The moisture content is determined in accordance with ISO 16979. 4.1.1.1 The moisture content H% of the part in percent is derived

29、 from the following formula: H (%) = 100% x (m1/m0 ) - 1) Where: m1 = mass of the test piece (g) before drying m0 = mass of the test piece (g) after drying 4.1.1.2 The mass constancy is obtained if the results of two successive tests dont deviate more than 1% from one another. 4.2 Conditions. 4.2.1

30、Environmental Conditions. 4.2.1.1 Instrument. Set up the HPLC instrument with the conditions given in the Appendices A, B or C. 4.2.2 Test Conditions. Deviations from the requirements of this standard shall have been agreed upon. Such requirements shall be specified on component drawings, test certi

31、ficates, reports, etc. 4.3 Instructions. 4.3.1 Determining the Release of Aldehydes and Ketones from the Test Samples. Prior to the chemical analysis, the samples are weighed on the analytical balance to 0.01 g. Fifty milliliters (50 mL) aliquots of deionized water are pipetted into each of a clean

32、1 L polyethylene bottle. As soon as the test sample has been attached to the hook, the bottle is sealed and stored for 180 minutes 15 minutes in a heated cabinet at +60 C 3 C. Additionally a blank test shall be run without test piece present. 4.3.1.1 When the test time is completed, the containers a

33、re removed from the heating cabinet then left to stand at +23 C 5 C for 60 minutes 10 minutes. The samples are removed from the bottles.

35、nd Chromatograms. Calibration standard solutions of the aldehydes and ketones have to be prepared in concentrations from 0.1 g/mL up to 15 g/mL (related to the corresponding carbonyl compound) in water. 4.3.2.2 Calibration curves are created by measuring the calibration solutions by HPLC according t

36、o the test conditions in Appendices A, B or C depending on the HPLC column utilized. 4.3.2.3 Each measuring sequence should start with pure solvent. Afterward calibration standards are measured with increasing carbonyl content (e.g., 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0 and 15) g/mL. 4.3.2.4 Individual peaks in

37、the samples are identified by their retention times and quantified by evaluation of their peak areas. 4.3.2.5 Tetrahydrofuran (THF) usage may cause swelling in HPLC polyetheretherketone (PEEK) tubing. Therefore, mobile phase solvents and corresponding modifiers are plumbed entirely using stainless s

38、teel tubing from the binary pump purge valve assembly and through the DAD outlet. 4.3.3 Derivatizing of the Aldehydes/Ketones. In an HPLC autosampler vial, mix 1 mL of the test water with 1 mL of derivatizing solution and 100 L (2 drops) of concentrated phosphoric acid. Shake gently and allow 30 min

39、utes for the derivatization reaction to occur. 4.3.4 Analysis. Each analytical measurement should begin with a pure solvent followed by a standard solution.

After the analysi

41、s sequence, inject an aliquot from each vial using the HPLC analysis conditions previously developed. 5 Data 5.1 Calculations. 5.1.1 Determination of Aldehyde and Ketone Concentrations in Solution. All individual peaks in the samples are identified by their retention times and quantitated by compari

42、son of their peak areas to the external standard calibration curves constructed by the instrument software. The values are obtained in micrograms per milliliter (g/mL). 5.1.2 Calculating the Release of Aldehydes and Ketones from the Material Test Piece. The released quantity of aldehydes and ketones

43、 referred to the dry corrected weight (M0) are calculated as follows. C1 x V1 x V2 C1 Cald_ket = _ = 100 mL *_ M0 x V3 M0 Where: Cald_ket = concentration of aldehyde or ketone (g/g) in test sample. C1 = concentration of aldehyde or ketone by HPLC (g/mL). M0 = weight of the dry sample (g), calculated

44、 according to 4.1.1.1. V1 = total volume solution of the derivatized reaction (2.0 mL). V2 = volume of test water (50 mL). V3 = analyzed volume solution of the derivatized reaction (1.0 mL). 5.1.2.1 The final result gives the concentration of the aldehydes and ketones in micrograms per gram (g/g) te
