16、phon, the solvent and extracted soluble contami-nant are siphoned back into the boiler. This process is allowedto continue for several hours. The solvent and extract are thenconcentrated or dried for analysis.5. Significance and Use5.1 It is expected that this practicewill be suitable to identifyand
17、 quantify contaminants found in systems, system materials,and components used in systems requiring a high level ofcleanliness, such as oxygen. Softgoods such as seals and valveseats can be tested as received. Gloves and wipes, or samplesthereof, to be used in the cleaning operation can be evaluatedp
18、rior to use to ensure that the proposed cleaning solvent doesnot extract contaminants and residues on the surface to becleaned.5.2 Wipes or other cleaning equipment can be tested afteruse to determine the amount of contaminant removed from asurface. This procedure can be used to obtain samples for N
19、VRanalysis using contaminated control coupons that were sub-jected to the cleaning process as controls to validate cleaningoperations.5.3 The selection of the solvent requires some knowledge ofthe contaminant (see Practice G93for recommendations). If anonvolatile residue (NVR) analysis is to be perf
20、ormed on themolecular contaminant, the boiling point of the solvent shall besignificantly lower than that of the contaminant. For otheranalytical methods, the tester must know the accuracy of theanalytical methods, and the solvent shall be chosen so as not tointerfere with the selected analytical me
21、thod. To identify thecomposition of the NVR, analytical methods such as infraredspectroscopy or gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy havebeen used satisfactorily.6.
