Summary of Test Method3.1 The gasoline is treated with iodine and tetraethyl am-monium chloride in chloroform
10、 and subjected to ultravioletlight. The lead alkyls form water-soluble lead alkyl iodides,which are removed from the gasoline by shaking it with anaqueous ammonium nitrate solution. The aqueous extract isfiltered into a solution of 4-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol disodiumsalt (PAR) and ammonium hydroxid
11、e. The lead is determinedby measuring its PAR complex colorimetrically at 490 nmusing a previously prepared calibration curve.4.

32、are por-tions of one or more gasoline materials or product standards ofknown lead content that were not used in the generation of theinstrument calibration curve. These (QC) samples are to beused to check the validity of the testing process as described inSection 10. An ample supply of QC sample mat
33、erial shall beavailable for the intended period of use, and must be homoge-neous and stable under the anticipated storage conditions.8. Calibration8.1 Prepare a calibration curve as follows, using at least fourgasoline standards of known lead content that cover the rangefrom 0.01 g to 0.10 g Pb/gal
34、(2.64 mg to 26.4 mg Pb/L).8.1.1 Rinse the 2 mL graduated pipet three times with thegasoline sample.Add 2.0 mL of the sample to a 1 oz glass vial.Add 2.0 mL of iodine/TEAC/CHCl3solution (ReagentA) fromanother pipet, to the vial containing the gasoline. Tightly capthe vial.8.1.2 Place the vial on the
35、ultraviolet light and set the timerto give the sample a 3 min exposure.8.1.2.1 (WarningUltraviolet light can be harmful to theeyes.Aprotective shield has been provided in the prototype kit.DO NOT remove it or otherwise defeat its purpose. DO NOTstare at the light.)8.1.3 After exposure, remove and un
36、cap the vial. Measure10.0 mL of ammonium nitrate solution (Reagent B) into the10 mL graduated cylinder. Add this to the vial containing thesample. Recap and shake the vial vigorously for 1 min. (Thetimer in the kit may be used.)8.1.4 Place a clean 18 mm test tube in the aluminummeasuring block. Add
37、5.0 mL of PAR solution (Reagent C) tothe test tube using the mark on the block such that the upperlevel of liquid in the tube is equal to the mark on the block.Place the plastic funnel in the test tube. Fold a piece of filterpaper and place in the funnel.8.1.5 When the two layers of liquid in the vi
38、al haveseparated (8.1.3), pour the entire contents of the vial inside thefilter paper. The aqueous layer will filter into the test tube; thegasoline/CHCl3layer will remain in the filter paper. Tap thefunnel to add any remaining drops of aqueous solution to thetest tube. Remove the funnel and discard
39、 its contents. Swirl thetest tube gently using a wrist action to obtain a uniform color.NOTE 6The lead-PAR complex formed in 8.1.5 must be measuredwithin 10 min after starting 8.1.5.NOTE 7A few drops of the organic layer may come through the filterpaper. This will not alter the results and can there
40、fore be tolerated.However, if more than 10 drops do come through, refilter the aqueouslayer through a fresh filter paper into a clean empty test tube.NOTE 8Swirling may cause air bubbles to be trapped in the liquid.Wait for these to settle before continuing. Wipe the test tube off with aclean towel
41、to remove any fingerprints that may be present on the surfaceof the tube.8.2 Zero and standardize the colorimeter as follows:8.2.1 Set the colorimeter at 490 nm. Set zero absorbance(100 % transmittance) with water in an 18 mm test tube. Readand record the absorbance (or percent transmittance) obtain

Whenplotting absorbance versus concentration note that the curvedoes not pass through the origin.9. Procedure9.1 Prepare the sample in accordance with the directionsgiven in 8.1.1
45、 8.1.5.NOTE 9Short form instructions are outlined in Appendix X1.9.2 Place the test tube containing the water in the colorim-eter and set the absorbance to zero, or to 100 % transmittance.9.3 Place the sample in the colorimeter and read theabsorbance or percent transmittance.NOTE 10Time LimitThe PAR
46、-lead solution obtained for the samplein 9.1 must be read within 10 min after the step described in 8.1.5.9.4 From the calibration curve, find the lead content of thesample. Determine the lead content to the nearest 0.001 g gal(0.26 mg L) value. Report the lead content to 0.01 g gal(2.64 mg L).NOTE
47、11The lead content may be obtained from the calibration curveto three significant figures (0.001 g gal); however, the value must berounded to two significant figures (0.01 g gal) for reporting purposes.When the third digit is 5 the value should be rounded to the nearest evennumber. For example, 0.03
48、5 g gal would be reported as 0.04 g gal, while0.045 g gal would also be reported as 0.04 g gal.10. Quality Control10.1 Confirm the performance of the apparatus or theprocedure, or both, each day it is in use by analyzing a QCsample (7.12) that is representative of samples typicallyanalyzed. Increase
49、 the analysis frequency of the QC sample ifa large number of samples are analyzed. Analysis of theresult(s) from the QC sample(s) can be carried out usingcontrol charts,9or other statistically equivalent techniques, toascertain the control status of the total testing process. Any outof control data should trigger investigation for root cause. TheQC sample precision shall be checked against the ASTMmethod precision to ensure data quality. Further guidance onquality control can be found in Practices D6299 and D6792.11. Precision11.1 The prec
