1、Designation: D6296 98 (Reapproved 2017)Standard Test Method forTotal Olefins in Spark-ignition Engine Fuels byMultidimensional Gas Chromatography1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6296; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in

2、the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method provides for the quantitative determi-nation of total olefins in th

3、e C4to C10range in spark-ignitionengine fuels or related hydrocarbon streams, such as naphthasand cracked naphthas. Olefin concentrations in the range from0.2 liquid-volume % or mass % to 5.0 liquid-volume % ormass %, or both, can be determined directly on the as-receivedsample whereas olefins in sa

4、mples containing higher concen-trations are determined after appropriate sample dilution priorto analysis.1.2 This test method is applicable to samples containingalcohols and ethers; however, samples containing greater than15 % alcohol must be diluted. Samples containing greater than5.0 % ether must

5、 also be diluted to the 5.0 % or less level, priorto analysis. When ethyl-tert-butylether is present, only olefinsin the C4to C9range can be determined.1.3 This test method can not be used to determine individualolefin components.1.4 This test method can not be used to determine olefinshaving higher

6、 carbon numbers than C10.NOTE 1Precision was determined only on samples containing MTBEand ethanol.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if a

The fraction eluting from the polar column, whichcontains C11and lower boiling saturated hydrocarbons as wellas

When the saturated hydrocarbonshave completely eluted to the FID, the nonpolar column ovenis cooled and the olefins, which have been ret

The desorbed olefins enterand elute from the nonpolar column, which is temperatureprogrammed to separate the olefins by boiling point, and aredetected by the FID.NOTE 2Separation of olefins by boiling point is necessary for thecalculation of the volu

22、me % of the olefins because the density of lowboiling olefins differs from that of high boiling olefins and, therefore, adensity correction must be applied.4.2 Quantitation of the detected olefin peak areas to providevolume % or mass %, or both, is accomplished through the useof an external standard

23、 followed by the application of flameionization detector response factors. The quantitation alsotakes into consideration the baseline compensation, sampledilution, and density corrections.5. Significance and Use5.1 The quantitative determination of olefins in spark-ignition engine fuels is required

24、to comply with governmentregulations.5.2 Knowledge of the total olefin content provides a meansto monitor the efficiency of catalytic cracking processes.5.3 This test method provides better precision for olefincontent than Test Method D1319. It also provides data in amuch shorter time, approximately

25、 20 min followingcalibration, and maximizes automation to reduce operatorlabor.5.4 This test method is not applicable to M85 or E85 fuels,which contain 85 % methanol and ethanol, respectively.6. Interferences6.1 Some types of sulfur-containing compounds are irre-versibly absorbed in the olefin and o

However, a variety of spark-ignitionengine fuels have been analyzed without significant perfor-mance deterioration of these traps.6.2 Commercial dyes used to distinguish between gradesand types of spark-ignition engine fuels have not been found to

27、interfere with this test method.6.3 Commercial detergent additives utilized in spark-ignition engine fuels have not been found to interfere with thistest method.6.4 Dissolved water in spark-ignition engine fuels has notbeen found to interfere with this test method. Free water mustbe removed using an
