20、4 Introduction Control over the residue content as specified in EN 589 is of considerable importance in end-use applications of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). Dissolved residual matter, also known as evaporation residue, in LPG is contamination which can occur during production, transportation or st
21、orage. This standard has been developed as a potential replacement of the commonly used methods, as this method of determination: is quicker and much more sensitive than manual methods, such as ASTM D2158 1 or EN 15471 2, which are based on evaporation of (large) sample volumes followed by visual or
22、 gravimetric estimation of residue content; provides enhanced sensitivity in measurements of heavier (evaporation) residues compared to EN 15470 3, with a quantification limit of 10 mg/kg total residue; gives both quantitative results and information about contaminant composition such as boiling poi
23、nt range and fingerprint, which can be very useful in tracing the source of a particular contaminant. DIN EN 16423:2014-02 EN 16423:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the dissolved residual matter, also known as evaporation residue, in liquefied pet
24、roleum gases (LPG), by gas chromatography in the range of (10 to 600) mg/kg (ppm mass). This test method quantifies soluble organic compounds (hydrocarbon materials), sometimes called evaporation residue, which can be present in liquefied petroleum gases and which are substantially less volatile tha
25、n the LPG product, i.e. with a boiling point between 174 C and 522 C (C10to C40). Higher boiling materials, or materials that adhere permanently to the chromatographic column, will not be detected. WARNING This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with
26、its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document

29、tions given in EN 589, ISO 1998-1, and the following apply. 3.1 high pressure liquefied gas injector sample introduction device which injects liquefied gas samples under pressure and at room temperature directly onto the chromatographic column thereby maintaining the sample in liquid phase during th
30、e injection process 3.2 pressure station device that supplies high pressure inert gas to a suitable sample cylinder and therefore maintains sample in the liquid phase during the injection procedure 4 Principle A small quantity of LPG is directly transferred in liquid phase from the sample cylinder o
31、n to a GC column using a high pressure liquefied gas injector. The mixture is then analysed by capillary gas chromatography and the dissolved residue content is quantified by the external standard method. 5 Reagents and materials IMPORTANT Standards that are prepared in pentane, normally liquid at r
32、oom temperature, shall be stored under refrigeration and transferred to sample cylinders prior to use. Alternatively, they can be stored in air tight cylinders.

The concentration of the mineral oil shall be close to the expected concentration of the contamination in the LPG sample. 5.1.3 Mineral oil or local hydrocarbon fraction, boiling point range approximately C10to C40. Alternatively, a well characterised local h
35、ydrocarbon fraction, within the range C10to C40, can be used to provide quantitative and qualitative comparison to the contaminant in the sample. Care should be taken to ensure no significant fraction falls outside the C10to C40range. 5.2 Validation standard, mineral oil in pentane. Prepare a valida
36、tion standard of mineral oil in pentane. Record the exact weighed value to the nearest mg of mineral oil and calculate the concentration in mg/kg.
