3、 or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method is for the determination of the total-concentration of acetone, p-chlorobenzotrifluoride, methylacetate, or t-butyl acetate, or combination of any of the four, insolvent-reducible and water-reducible paints, coatings, resins,and raw materials. Because unkn
4、own compounds that co-elutewith the analyte being measured or with the internal standard,will lead to erroneous results, this test method should only beused for materials of known composition so that the possibilityof interferences can be eliminated. The established workingrange of this test method
5、is from 1 % to 100 % for each analyteby weight.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility
6、 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.2.

Summary of Test Method3.1 A suitable aliquot of whole paint is internallystandardized, diluted with an appropriate solvent, and theninjected into a gas
9、chromatographic column that separates thechosen analytes from other volatile components. The analytecontent is determined from area calculations of the materialsproducing peaks on the chromatogram.4. Significance and Use4.1 With the need to calculate volatile organic content(VOC) of paints, and with
10、 acetone, p-chlorobenzotrifluoride,methyl acetate and t-butyl acetate4considered as exemptvolatile compounds, it is necessary to know the content ofthese analytes. This gas chromatographic test method providesa relatively simple and direct way to determine their content.However, because the detector
11、s used in this test method are notselective, and because some coatings are very complexmixtures, compounds may be present in the sample that coelutewith the analyte, giving a result that is erroneously high. Or acomponent may elute with the internal standard, giving a resultthat is erroneously low.
12、It is therefore important to know thecomposition of the sample to ensure that there are nointerferences, under the analysis conditions used. Test MethodD6438 employs mass-spectral detection of analytes and may beused as an alternative method.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Commit

Calibration10.1 Using the information in Table 1 (as a guide), select theconditions of temperature and carrier gas flow that give thenecessary resolution of th
32、e desired analytes from interferencesin the samples.10.2 Determination of Relative Response FactorsCyclohexanol, or another suitable compound, is used as aninternal standard. The internal standard used should be acompound that is not in the sample matrix, and does notco-elute with any other componen
33、t of the sample. Mostanalyses can be done utilizing cyclohexanol for the internalstandard providing it is soluble in the diluent solvent. Theresponse factor for each analyte relative to the standard isdetermined by means of the following procedure. It is goodpractice to determine the relative retent
34、ion time daily or witheach series of determinations.10.2.1 Prepare a standard with the desired analytes and theinternal standard. This is done in the following manner: A7-mL sealable vial is tared on an analytical balance. Eachdesired analyte and the internal standard are added at the 1 drop(;0.02 g
35、) level and their weights recorded. All weights shouldbe recorded to 0.1 mg. Deliver 5 mL of dilution solvent (THF)to this vial (see Note 2). Lower concentrations may beachieved through further dilution with THF if necessary.NOTE 2The solvent should always be injected separately for obser-vation of
36、contaminants and possible interference peaks, especially in traceanalysis. The suggested solvents do not preclude the selection of any othersolvent for dilution at the analysts discretion.10.2.2 Inject a 1.0 L aliquot of the standard mixture intothe injection port of the gas chromatograph. At the en
37、d of thechromatographic run, calibrate the integrator by following themanufacturers procedure for internal standard weight percentcalibration. If this capability is not available, refer to thefollowing calculations. See Figs. 1-3 for typical chromato-grams using the three listed columns.10.2.3 The r
38、esponse factor of each analyte is calculated asfollows:Ranalyte5Wi3 AanalyteWanalyte3 Ai(1)where:Ranalyte= response factor for the analyte being calibrated,Wi= weight of internal standard,Wanalyte= weight of the analyte being calibrated,Aanalyte= peak area for the analyte being calibrated, andAi= pe
39、ak area for the internal standard.11. Procedure11.1 Samples are prepared with respect to the amount of theselected analytes in the sample, or the viscosity, or both. Adiluting solvent must be chosen that satisfactorily dissolves thesample and at the same time does not interfere with or obscurethe an
40、alyte peaks in the sample. Most samples are easilydissolved in THF, while a 50/50 blend of nanopure water andTHF will disperse most latex samples.11.2 The prepared sample must be easily dispensed into thesyringe. For this reason, some samples may need to be dilutedfurther. Best results are obtained
41、when the analyte concentra-tion is reduced to about 1 % in the prepared sample. This isaccomplished by diluting the sample (1 g) with1gofdilutingsolvent for every percent of analyte present in the originalsample.11.3 Inject a 1.0 L aliquot of the prepared sample into thechromatographic column. The r
42、eporting integrator will displaythe peak retention times and areas of the analytes and internalstandard. The integrator will report the results directly inweight percentages based on the total sample. If a reportingintegrator is not available, manual calculations can be done.FIG. 1 GC Trace of Solve

44、different phase (FFAP for example) must be used toachieve adequate separation. If available, mass spectral confir-mation may also be used in place of analysis on a secondcolumn, if the mass spectra are sufficiently different to allowisolation of the compounds of interest.11.5 For difficult or pigmen

Precision and Bias13.1 Precisio
48、nThe precision estimates forp-chlorobenzotrifluoride, t-butyl acetate, methyl acetate, andacetone are based on an interlaboratory study in which 7different laboratories analyzed three times, 4 samples ofvarious solventborne materials containing from 22 to 57 %p-chlorobenzotrifluoride, 8 to 33 % t-bu
