3、 effect on 31 March 1994. It is the English language version of EN 27941 : 1993 Commercial propane and butane - Analysis by gas chromatography, published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), which endorses IS0 7941 : 1988, published by the International Organization for Standardizati

4、on (ISO). This British Standard supersedes BS 7276 : 1990, which is withdrawn. Due to the implementation of IS0 7941 : 1988 as a European Standard and as a Part of BS 2000, this British Standard has been given a different number to BS 7276 : 1990. However, there are no other differences between this

5、 British Standard and BS 7276 : 1990. BS 2000 comprises a series of test methods for petroleum and its products that are published by the Institute of Petroleum (IP) and have been accorded the status of a British Standard. Each method should be read in conjunction with the preliminary pages of IP St

The numbering of t

7、he Parts of BS 2000 follows that of the corresponding methods published in IP Standard methods for analysis and testing of petroleum and related products. Under the terms of the agreement between BSI and the Institute of Petroleum, BS 2000 : Part 405/BS EN 27941 will be published by the IP (in Stand

8、ard methods for analysis and testing of petroleum and related products and as a separate publication). BS 2000 : Part 405 : 1994 is thus identical with IP 405/94. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. 0 The institute of Petroleum values above 1

22、 and the peaks are measured subsequently, the peak height for this concentra- tion should be at least 5 chart divisions above the noise level on a O to 100 division chart. The noise level should be restricted to a maximum of 1 chart division. If electronic integration is employed, the signal for a c

23、omponent present at 0.1 % should be measurable with a repeatability of not greater than 20 % relative when the sample is analysed. Check the linearity of response of the apparatus by injecting a series of reference gas mixtures with widely varying but known concentrations or by injecting mixtures of

25、 at least 3 mm at half height. Peak areas are measured either manually, as described in 8.4.3, or by using electronic integration. Both techniques have been used to establish the precision quoted in clause 10. The integrator should have the following characteristics : ai wide range (0-1 Vi input; bi

26、 capable of baseline tracking and of measuring peaks on a sloping baseline. 6.6 Attenuator If peak areas are to be measured from the recorder chart, a multistep attenuator for the amplified detector output should be used to maintain the peak maxima on the recorder chart. 6.7 Sintered metal filter If

27、 a liquid sample valve (6.2) is used, it is recommended that a suitable sintered metal filter should be inserted before the injec- tor, to prevent the introduction of solid particles into the injec- tor. This filter should be located just after the outlet valve from the sampling container or cylinde

28、r. 7 Sampling See IS0 4257. 8 Procedure 8.1 Control of the apparatus 8.1.1 Injector port For liquid injection, adjust the injection port temperature to 40 I 5 OC but maintain the liquid sample valve at ambient temperature, For gaseous injections, the sample valve and loop may be warmed (e.g. to 70 O

29、C) to avoid condensation of higher boiling components at the column pressure. 8.1.2 Oven Depending on the choice of column, maintain the oven temperature at - 40 I 1 OC for columns 6.3.1.1 ai and 6.3.1.1 bi; - 20 k 1 OC for column 6.3.1.1 cl. 8.1.3 Flowrate Adjust the flow to a value such that the c

30、onditions required for the resolution (see 6.3.3) are obtained. 8.1.4 Detector Thermistor type conductivity detectors should be operated at 40 to 50 oc. Hot-wire type conductivity detectors should be operated at 100 to 150 oc. The flame ionization detector should be operated at 100 to 150 OC. 8.1.5

37、 to 1 pl for liquid injection; up to 0.5 mi for gaseous injection. The size of test portion chosen for the test should be such that linear response is ensured (see 6.4). 8.3.1 Liquid injection (preferred method1 Place the sampling container or the gas cylinder in an upright position, with the outlet

38、 valve at the bottom. Connect this valve through the metal filter (6.71 to the injector, using a non- plasticized or plastic, transparent, armoured or pressure- resisting tube which should be earthed (see figure 5). Downstream of the purge system of the injection device, use a pressure-reducing valv

39、e to avoid any vaporization upstream when the flow equilibrium is reached. Open the outlet valve and control the flow through the transparent tube so that the latter becomes completely filled with liquid. Inject the test portion into the column. Close the outlet valve. 8.3.2 Gaseous injection (less

40、desirable) Use one of following alternative procedures: 8.3.2.1 Connect a sampling container of 2 ml capacity (see figure 6) in an upright position, with the inlet valve at the bot- tom, directly to the liquid sample source or to a larger sampling container containing the liquid sample. Purge the 2

41、ml con- tainer until liquid appears at the outlet. Close the outlet valve, IS0 i941 : 1988 (E) and after approximately 10 min (to establish equilibrium), close the inlet valve. Close the sample source valve and disconnect the 2 ml sample container. Support the container in the upright position, open

42、 the bottom valve, and run off approximately 20 % of the contents. Vaporize the sample completely into an empty vessel of a suffi- cient capacity to contain the sample at a pressure slightly greater than atmospheric pressure. Mix the sample thoroughly. Connect this vessel to the injection device, fl

43、ush the loop and then inject the test portion into the column. 8.3.2.2 Use a normal sampling container, in a vertical position with the ullage tube at the top. Connect a Drechsel bottle, con- taining sufficient water to give a 6 mm seal, to the outlet of the sample loop of the injector. Connect the

44、bottom sampling con- tainer valve to the inlet of the sample loop, open it slightly and allow the vapour to purge the loop at the rate of two bubbles per second (as indicated at the Drechsel bottle). Care should be taken not to open the valve on the sampling container excessively, or the lighter hyd

45、rocarbons will vaporize at a faster rate than the heavier ones and the test portions injected will not be representative of the liquid in the sampling container. Purge the sample loop with about ten times its volume, and then close the valve on the sampling bomb. Allow the vapour in the loop to come

46、 to atmospheric pressure and inject the test portion into the column. Disconnect the Drechsel bottle to prevent water being sucked back into the chromatograph. 8.4 Examination of the chromatograms 8.4.1 Typical chromatograms Figures 2, 3 and 4 represent typical chromatograms obtained with samples of
