3、of dichloromethane or 1,1,1-trichloroethane, or both, inpaints and coatings. It has been evaluated for cellulose nitrate,alkyd, vinyl, and styrene-butadiene systems. It has not yet beenevaluated for other formulations, but is believed to be appli-cable. The established working range of this test met
4、hod isfrom 31 to 65 % for 1,1,1-trichloroethane and 32 to 78 % fordichloromethane. There is no reason to believe it will not workoutside of these ranges. The presence of 1-propanol in paintsand coatings requires the use of a different internal standard.(See also Practice E 260.)1.2 The values stated

The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Column ConditioningThe packed column is installedin the gas chromatographic unit leaving the exit end discon-nected from the detector. This will prevent any contaminat
21、ionof the detector with the column bleed. Set the helium flow rateat 30 mL/min if a18 in. (3.2 mm) outside diameter column isused. Purge the column 5 to 10 min before heating. Heat thecolumn from room temperature to 200C at 5C/min and holdthis temperature for at least 12 h (overnight). At the end of
22、 thisperiod of time, heat the column to 240C at a 5C/min rate andhold this temperature for several hours. The maximum tem-perature for this packing is 250C. Cool the column to 100Cand reheat to 240C at 5C/min to observe the column bleed.Optimum conditioning of this column may take several cyclesof t

Conditioning of any column other than that sug-gested (5.4) should be in accordance with the manufacturersrecommendations.8.2 Install the column in the chromatograph and use theinformation in Table 1 as a guide to establish the condition
