Oxygen, nitro

30、gen, carbon dioxide, ethane and propane shall be determined by the gas chromatographic method described in 4.5.4.1. The carbon dioxide content of the sample may also be determined by the procedure described in 4.5.4.2. The oxygen content may be determined by the procedure described in 4.5.4.3. In ca

31、se of dispute the gas chromatographic method in 4.5.4.1 shall be used as the referee. 4.5.4.1 Gas chromatograph.

38、compound which is subsequently measured by UV fluorescence. The analyzer shall be calibrated at appropriate intervals by the use of calibration gas standards. The range of the analyzer shall be no greater than ten times the specified maximum total sulfur content 4.5.8 Non-volatile residue & particul

39、ates. (Type II only) Thoroughly clean a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask. Dry the flask in an oven at 105 5C for 30 minutes. After drying, cover the flask with a watch glass or inverted small beaker and allow it to cool next to the balance for 30 minutes. Weigh the flask to the nearest 0.01 mg. Place the fla

40、sk in a gas purged container that holds the flask securely but allows gas to be purged around the outside of the flask to avoid moisture condensation (see figure 1). Initiate a flow of nitrogen gas conforming to MIL-PRF-27401 (Grade B or C) or helium conforming to MIL-PRF-27407 (Grade A or B) throug

41、h the purged container to minimize condensation on the outside of the flask. Fill the flask to the 100 mL line with the liquid methane sample and start a flow of the nitrogen or helium into the flask to help evaporate the sample and prevent condensation in the flask. Adjust flows as needed to preven

42、t condensation and continue purging until the methane has evaporated and the flask is back to ambient temperature. Shut off gas flows. Remove the flask from the gas purged container, cover with the watch glass or small beaker and place it next to the balance for 30 minutes. Weigh the flask to the ne

43、arest 0.01 mg. For Grades B and C, more than 100 mL may need to be evaporated to reduce the effect of balance uncertainty on the result. (NOTE: Sampling should be performed either with the use of a Dewar or directly from the shipping container). 4.5.8.1 Calculation. The non-volatile residue and part
