2、 A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the quantitative determinationof phenol and certain homologues of phenol in tar acid andcresylic acid mixtu
3、res using capillary gas chromatography. It isa normalization test method that determines homolog distribu-tion but is not an absolute assay since it does not account forwater or other compounds not detected by a flame ionizationdetector.1.2 In determining the conformance of the test results usingthi
4、s method to applicable specifications, results shall berounded off in accordance with the rounding-off method ofPractice E29.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all o
5、f thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.
