5、f 23 +/- 2 C and 50 +/- 5 % relative humidity for not less than 24 h prior to testing and tested under the same conditions unless otherwise specified. Procedure I. Preparation of Trimethylamine (TMA) Stock Solution and Standards 1. Accurately weigh 0.1617 g trimethylamine hydrochloride into a 100 mL
6、 volumetric flask and dilute to volume with freshly boiled distilled, deionized water to give a 1000 ppm TMA stock solution. 2. Pipet stock solution into 50 mL volumetric flasks as described below: mL of Stock ppm TMA standard 5.0 100 2.0 40 1.0 20 0.5 (500 microliter) 10 0.2 (200 microliter) 4 0.05
7、 (50 microliter) 1 3. Dilute to volume with freshly boiled distilled, deionized water. 4. Prepare working standards by pipeting 1.71 mL of each standard solution into septum-sealed vials. Add 90 microliter of 2 M sodium hydroxide to each and mix. FORD LABORATORY TEST METHOD AO 107-01 Page 3 of 5 Cop

Place a 6.5 cm tall sample support (open-ended 125 mL nalgene bottle with end cut off) in the jar, and bal
9、ance an 8.9 cm diameter disk of sink matting upon the sample support. 4. Place 10 +/- 0.05 g of sample on the sink matting, cover the jars with polyethylene film, and screw the lids on securely. 5. Place the jars in an oven at 65 C for 16 h. 6. Remove the jars from the oven and allow to cool to 23 +
10、/- 2 C for 30 minutes. 7. Transfer 1.71 mL of test water from the jar to a septum-sealed vial. 8. Add 90 microliter of 2 M NaOH to the vial. III. Gas Chromatographic Analysis of Standards and Samples 1. Gas chromatographic conditions are as follows: Column: Supelcowax-10, 30 m or equivalent 40 C for
11、 3 min, then to 150 C 10 C/min Injector: Split/Splitless 10:1 split ratio minimum 220 C Detector: Phosphorus-Nitrogen or Flame Ionization (See Note 1) 220 C Injection: 1 microliter FORD LABORATORY TEST METHOD AO 107-01 Page 4 of 5 Copyright 2001, Ford Global Technologies, Inc. 2. A linear calibratio
12、n curve is prepared by analyzing the working standards. The TMA elutes at approximately 3.5 minutes. Peak area vs. concentration is fitted to a linear calibration curve. 3. The samples are analyzed in the same manner. The TMA content is determined using the established calibration curve. Results are
13、 reported as parts per million TMA in fiberglass. Chemicals, materials, parts, and equipment referenced in this document must be used and handled properly.
