In area slice mode (see 6.3.2), peak detection parameters are bypassed

25、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 denotes the number of carbon atoms (for example, normaldecane = n-C10; isotetradecane = i-C14).4. Summary of Tes
26、t 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 used to elute the hydrocarbon components of the sample in orderof increasing boiling point. The column te
27、mperature 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 obtained under the samechromatographic conditions by analyzing a known mixture of hydrocarbons covering the
28、boiling range expected in the sample.From these data, the boiling range distribution can be obtained.4.2 Procedure A and Procedure B yield essentially the same results. See Sections 14 and 23, and the accompanying researchreports.5. Significance and Use5.1 The boiling range distribution of petroleum
29、 fractions provides an 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
30、 product specification 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 efficie
31、ncy distillations such as thoseobtained with Test Method D86 or D1160.5.3 Procedure B was tested with biodiesel mixtures and reports the Boiling Point Distribution of FAME esters of vegetable andanimal origin mixed with ultra low sulfur diesel.D2887 16a2Procedure A6. Apparatus6.1 ChromatographThe ga
32、s 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 1.0 % dodecane with a peak height of at least 10 % of full scale on the recorder und
33、er 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 full scale per hour is obtained. The detector must be capable of operatingcontinuousl
34、y 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 operate a thermal conductivity detector at a temperature higher than the maximum column
35、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 must be capable of linear programmed temperature operationover a range sufficient t
36、o establish a retention time of at least 1 min for the IBPand to elute compounds up to a boiling temperatureof 538 C (1000 F) before reaching the upper end of the temperature program.

37、ch 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 93 C (200 F) are to be analyzed. This is typically provided by adding a source of either liquid carbon dioxide or liquid
38、nitrogen, 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 should be only low enough to obtain a calibrationcurve meeting the specifications of the me
39、thod.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 means of programming the entirecolumn, including the point of sample introduction, up to
40、 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 equipped with mass flow controllers capable of maintaining carriergas flow constant to 61 % o
41、ver 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 columntemperature is raised. An inlet pressure of 550 kPa (80 psig) has been found sat
42、isfactory with the packed columns described inTable 1. For open tubular columns, inlet pressures from 10 kPa to 70 kPa (1.5 psig to 10 psig) have been found to be suitable.6.1.6 MicrosyringeA microsyringe is needed for sample introduction.NOTE 3Automatic sampling devices or other sampling means, suc
