35、 10 l of each calibration solution (see 8.2) three times. The calibration curve may be used for the content determination when the correlation coefficient exceeds 0,99. NOTE The correlation coefficient is calculated in accordance with the method of smallest squares. To verify the equipment system, i
36、nject a calibration solution, prepared according to 8.2, with a content of 1 mg/l triazole and inject 10 l three times in succession. Once the determined content is within the tolerance of 0,05 mg/l (5 % rel.) , the equipment system satisfies the requirements for continuing the measurements on the t
37、est solution. Inject 10 l of the test solution three times in succession. Special care has to be taken to obtain good peak separation in order to avoid interference from other substances present in the sample. 9 Calculation and expression of the results 9.1 Calculation Carry out the evaluation on th
38、e basis of the calibration curve over the peak areas. Calculate the mass fraction of 1H-1,2,4-triazole, wTZ, in percent according to the following equation: maFbAw=100)(dpkTZ(1) where Apkis the peak area; b is the ordinate section of the calibration curve; a is the slope of the calibration curve; DI
