Summary of Test Method4.1 The molecular species which make up a gas
31、eous mix-ture are dissociated and ionized by electron bombardment. Thepositive ions of the different masses thus formed are acceler-ated in an electrostatic field and separated in a magnetic field.The abundance of each mass present is recorded. The mixturespectrum obtained is resolved into individua

Significance and Use5.1 A knowledge of the composition of refinery gases isuseful in diagnosing the source of plant upsets, in determiningthe suitability of certain gas streams for use as fuel, or
33、asfeedstocks for polymerization and alkylation, and for monitor-ing the quality of commercial gases.6. Interferences6.1 In setting up an analysis, it is possible that a constituentwas ignored.

38、1302.CThe mass spectrometer analysis for isomeric butenes is far less accurate than for the other hydrocarbon components. The inaccuracies involved in the isomeric buteneanalysis by mass spectrometer range from 1.0 to 4.0 mole %, depending upon the concentration, ranges, and extent of drifts in inst
39、rument calibrations. These inaccuracieswill range still higher when pentenes are present in larger than 0.5 % concentrations. See Analytical Chemistry, Vol 22, 1950, p. 991; Ibid, Vol 21, 1949, p. 547; and Ibid, Vol 21, 1949, p. 572.DIn Method 4, butylenes and pentenes spectra are composites based o
40、n typical GLC analyses. Hexene and hexane spectra are from appropriately corrected spectra ofrepresentative fractions.EResiduals Groups A: m/e 72, 58, 57, 44, 43; Group B: m/e 56, 42, 30, 29, 14. All Group A residual shall be 0.2 division or less with the residual of the largest peak alsobeing less
41、than 0.3 % of its total peak height. All Group B residuals shall be less than 1 % of the peak height or 0.2 division, whichever is greater.FButenes are grouped if they are less than 5 %.GIf pentenes exceed 1 %, they are determined by other means and the spectrum removed from the poly spectrum.HRemov

43、acceptable analysis. Masses suitable for this calculation aretabulated with each calculation procedure.NOTE 3Another strategy employed to reduce interferences andincrease accuracy consists of using spectra which have been corrected forcontributions caused by the rare isotopes of carbon and hydrogen.
44、7. Apparatus7.1 Mass SpectrometerAny mass spectrometer can beused with this test method that shall be proven by performancetests described herein.8. Reference Standards8.1 The mass spectrometer must be calibrated with each ofthe components constituting the unknown mixture to beanalyzed. The calibrat
45、ing compounds must be of high purity.Research grade calibrants are readily available from a numberof sources. In general, the mass spectrometer is capable ofdetecting impurities in calibrants and the contribution of suchimpurities to the calibration spectrum can be removed.NOTE 4Some of the calculat
46、ion procedures require the use ofcombined spectra, for example, air and butylenes. Three frequently usedpossibilities for producing combined spectra are as follows: (1) Repre-sentative fraction from a specific source, (2) Multiplication factors toconvert the spectrum of a pure constituent to a simul
47、ated spectrum of themixture, and (3) Proportionality factors for combining actual calibrations.Arecommended concentration limit for combined mixtures is given.Atthe level recommended, the residual spectrum contribute less than 0.1 %error in any one result when the concentration of any constituent in
48、 thecombined mixture is doubled.9. Sampling9.1 Samples shall be collected by methods known to pro-vide a representative mixture of the material to be analyzed.Samples can be collected in accordance with Test MethodD1247, Practice D1265, API MPMS 14.1, or GPA 2166.10.
