16、es, terms, and relationships.Detailed definitions of these can be found in Practices E260, E355, and E594.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 area sliceslice, nthe area, resulting from the integration of the chromatographic detector signal, within a specifiedretention time inter
17、val. In area slice mode (see 6.3.2), peak detection parameters are bypassed and the detector signal integral isrecorded as area slices of consecutive, fixed duration time intervals.3.2.2 corrected area sliceslice, nan area slice corrected for baseline offset, by subtraction of the exactly correspond

19、FBP), nthe temperature (corresponding to the retention time) at which a cumulativecorrected area count equal to 99.5 % of the total sample area under the chromatogram is obtained.3.2.5 initial boiling point (IBP)(IBP), nthe temperature (corresponding to the retention time) at which a cumulativecorre
20、cted area count equal to 0.5 % of the total sample area under the chromatogram is obtained.3.2.6 slice raterate, nthe time interval used to integrate the continuous (analog) chromatographic detector response duringan analysis. The slice rate is expressed in hertz (for example, integrations or slices
21、 per second).3.2.7 slice timetime, nthe time associated with the end of each contiguous area slice. The slice time is equal to the slicenumber divided by the slice rate.3.2.8 total sample areaarea, nthe cumulative corrected area, from the initial area point to the final area point, where thechromato
22、graphic signal is considered to have returned to baseline after complete sample elution.3.3 Abbreviations:3.3.1 Acommon abbreviation of hydrocarbon compounds is to designate the number of carbon atoms in the compound.Aprefixis used to indicate the carbon chain form, while a subscripted suffix denote
23、s the number of carbon atoms (for example, normaldecane = n-C10; isotetradecane = i-C14).4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The boiling range distribution determination by distillation is simulated by the use of gas chromatography. A nonpolarpacked or open tubular (capillary) gas chromatographic column is
24、 used to elute the hydrocarbon components of the sample in orderof increasing boiling point. The column temperature is raised at a reproducible linear rate and the area under the chromatogramis recorded throughout the analysis. Boiling points are assigned to the time axis from a calibration curve ob
25、tained under the samechromatographic conditions by analyzing a known mixture of hydrocarbons covering the boiling range expected in the sample.From these data, the boiling range distribution can be obtained.5. Significance and Use5.1 The boiling range distribution of petroleum fractions provides an
26、insight into the composition of feedstocks and productsrelated to petroleum refining processes. The gas chromatographic simulation of this determination can be used to replaceconventional distillation methods for control of refining operations. This test method can be used for product specification
27、testingwith the mutual agreement of interested parties.5.2 Boiling range distributions obtained by this test method are essentially equivalent to those obtained by true boiling point(TBP) distillation (see Test Method D2892). They are not equivalent to results from low efficiency distillations such
28、as thoseobtained with Test Method D86 or D1160.6. Apparatus6.1 ChromatographThe gas chromatograph used must have the following performance characteristics:6.1.1 DetectorEither a flame ionization or a thermal conductivity detector may be used. The detector must have sufficientsensitivity to detect 1.
29、0 % dodecane with a peak height of at least 10 % of full scale on the recorder under conditions prescribedin this test method and without loss of resolution as defined in 9.3.1. When operating at this sensitivity level, detector stability mustbe such that a baseline drift of not more than 1 % of ful
30、l scale per hour is obtained. The detector must be capable of operatingcontinuously at a temperature equivalent to the maximum column temperature employed. Connection of the column to the detectormust be such that no temperature below the column temperature exists.NOTE 2It is not desirable to operat
31、e a thermal conductivity detector at a temperature higher than the maximum column temperature employed.Operation at higher temperature generally contributes to higher noise levels and greater drift and can shorten the useful life of the detector.6.1.2 Column Temperature ProgrammerThe chromatograph m
32、ust be capable of linear programmed temperature operationover a range sufficient to establish a retention time of at least 1 min for the IBPand to elute compounds up to a boiling temperatureD2887 122of 538C (1000F) before reaching the upper end of the temperature program. The programming rate must b
33、e sufficientlyreproducible to obtain retention time repeatability of 0.1 min (6 s) for each component in the calibration mixture described in 7.8.6.1.3 Cryogenic Column CoolingColumn starting temperatures below ambient will be required if samples with IBPs of lessthan 93C (200F) are to be analyzed.
34、This is typically provided by adding a source of either liquid carbon dioxide or liquidnitrogen, controlled through the oven temperature circuitry. Excessively low initial column temperature must be avoided to ensurethat the stationary phase remains liquid. The initial temperature of the column shou
35、ld be only low enough to obtain a calibrationcurve meeting the specifications of the method.6.1.4 Sample Inlet SystemThe sample inlet system must be capable of operating continuously at a temperature equivalent tothe maximum column temperature employed, or provide for on-column injection with some m
36、eans of programming the entirecolumn, including the point of sample introduction, up to the maximum temperature required. Connection of the column to thesample inlet system must be such that no temperature below the column temperature exists.6.1.5 Flow ControllersThe gas chromatograph must be equipp
37、ed with mass flow controllers capable of maintaining carriergas flow constant to 61 % over the full operating temperature range of the column. The inlet pressure of the carrier gas suppliedto the gas chromatograph must be sufficiently high to compensate for the increase in column backpressure as the
38、 columntemperature is raised. An inlet pressure of 550 kPa (80 psig) has been found satisfactory with the packed columns described inTable 1. For open tubular columns, inlet pressures from 10 to 70 kPa (1.5 to 10 psig) have been found to be suitable.6.1.6 MicrosyringeA microsyringe is needed for sam
39、ple introduction.NOTE 3Automatic sampling devices or other sampling means, such as indium encapsulation, can be used provided: the system can be operated ata temperature sufficiently high to completely vaporize hydrocarbons with atmospheric boiling points of 538C (1000F), and the sampling system isc
40、onnected to the chromatographic column avoiding any cold temperature zones.6.2 ColumnAny column and conditions may be used that provide separation of typical petroleum hydrocarbons in order ofincreasing boiling point and meet the column performance requirements of 9.3.1 and 9.3.3. Successfully used
41、columns andconditions are given in Table 1.6.3 Data Acquisition System:6.3.1 RecorderA 0 to 1 mV range recording potentiometer or equivalent, with a full-scale response time of 2 s or less maybe used.6.3.2 IntegratorMeans must be provided for determining the accumulated area under the chromatogram.
42、This can be done bymeans of an electronic integrator or computer-based chromatography data system. The integrator/computer system must havenormal chromatographic software for measuring the retention time and areas of eluting peaks (peak detection mode). In addition,the system must be capable of conv
43、erting the continuously integrated detector signal into area slices of fixed duration. Thesecontiguous area slices, collected for the entire analysis, are stored for later processing. The electronic range of theintegrator/computer (for example, 1 V, 10 V) must be within the linear range of the detec
44、tor/electrometer system used. The systemmust be capable of subtracting the area slice of a blank run from the corresponding area slice of a sample run.NOTE 4Some gas chromatographs have an algorithm built into their operating software that allows a mathematical model of the baseline profile tobe sto
45、red in memory.This profile is automatically subtracted from the detector signal on subsequent sample analyses to compensate for any baseline offset.Some integration systems also store and automatically subtract a blank analysis from subsequent analytical determinations.TABLE 1 Typical Operating Cond
