Summary of Test Method4.1 An LPG sample is analyzed via either liquid or gassampling valves by gas chromatography and compared tocorresponding components separated under identical operatingconditions from a reference standard mixture of known com-positio

17、n or from use of pure hydrocarbons. The chromatogramof the sample is interpreted by comparing peak retention timesand areas with those obtained for the reference standardmixture or pure hydrocarbons.5. Significance and Use5.1 The hydrocarbon component distribution of liquefiedpetroleum gases and pro

18、pene mixtures is often required forend-use sale of this material. Applications such as chemicalfeed stocks or fuel require precise compositional data to ensureuniform quality. Trace amounts of some hydrocarbon impuri-ties in these materials can have adverse effects on their use andprocessing.5.2 The

19、 component distribution data of liquefied petroleumgases and propene mixtures can be used to calculate physicalproperties such as relative density, vapor pressure, and motoroctane (see Practice D2598). Precision and accuracy of com-positional data are extremely important when these data areused to c

20、alculate various properties of these petroleum prod-ucts.6. Apparatus6.1 Gas Chromatograph (GC)Any gas chromatographicinstrument provided with a linear temperature programmablecolumn oven. The temperature control must be capable ofobtaining a retention time repeatability of 0.05 min (3 s)throughout

21、the scope of this analysis.6.2 DetectorA flame ionization detector (FID) having asensitivity of 0.5 ppm (mole) or less for the compounds listedin Table 1 is strongly recommended (see Practice E594).6.2.1 Other detectors may be used (alone or in series)provided that they have sufficient response, lin

22、earity, andsensitivity to measure the components of interest at theconcentration levels required.6.3 Data AcquisitionAny commercial integrator or com-puterized data acquisition system may be used for display ofthe chromatographic detector signal and peak area integration.The device should be capable

23、 of calibration and reporting ofthe final response corrected results.6.4 Sample IntroductionWhether liquid or vaporsampling, the combination of valve injection size and split ratiomust be selected such that the required sensitivity is achievedand also that no component concentration in a sample is g

24、reaterthan the detector upper linearity limit.6.4.1 If capillary columns will be used, then the GC mustinclude a heated splitting type injector that is operated isother-mally. Split ratios in the range of 5:1 to 200:1, with a typicalvalue of 100:1, will be used dependent upon the sampleinjection vol

25、ume and sensitivity required. If packed columnswill be used, then a splitting type injector is not required and asuitable packed inlet port may be used.6.4.2 Liquid Sampling (recommended)The GC should beequipped with a liquid sampling valve for introduction of thesample aliquot to the splitting inje

26、ctor. Liquid sampling valveswith an internal fixed sample volume between 0.2 to 0.5 L ora size to provide the minimum detection limits given in 1.1have been used satisfactorily.

A 2 to 7m packed-screen type filter should be provided at the sampleinlet port of the sampling valve to remove possible particulatematerial from the samp

31、le. The valve shall provide for arepeatability of at least 2% relative sample volume introduc-tion. The sampling valve shall be located at the GC such thatit can be operated at ambient temperature. The use of floatingpiston sample cylinders is encouraged to minimize or eliminatethe volatilization of

32、 lighter components into the headspace.Common 80% filled LPG storage cylinders should be pressur-ized with an inert gas such as helium to facilitate liquid transferand accurate liquid injections. A minimum pressure of 200 psiabove sample vapor pressure is recommended. A pressuregauge may be used to

33、make this determination. Beforepressurization, verify that the sample cylinder, transfer linesand valves are rated to safely contain the pressurized sample. Itis customary to add a check valve between the helium cylinderand the sample cylinder to prevent contamination in the eventthe sample cylinder

34、 is higher in pressure than the pressurizingcylinder.6.4.3 Vapor Sampling (optional)A six-port gas samplingvalve or a ten-port sampling/column switching valve with1.6 mm (116 in.) fittings and a 200 L fixed sampling loop maybe provided. This valve shall be contained in a heatedenclosure and operated

35、 at a temperature above the boiling pointof the highest boiling component in the sample. The use of a 2to 7 m frit or packed-screen type filter ahead of the sampleintroduction port is recommended. The valve shall provide fora repeatability of at least 2% relative sample volume introduc-tion.6.5 Gas

36、ControlsThe GC shall be provided with suitablefacilities for delivery and control of carrier gas and the detectorgases. This will consist of the appropriate tank and down-stream regulators and supply tubing as well as the mass orpressure controls for the precise regulation of the instrumentoperation

37、.NOTE 1Most GC suppliers will provide these devices or recommendthe proper supplies.6.6 Column Series/Reversal Switching ValveIf desired, amulti-port valve mentioned may be used to provide the C5olefin/C6+ determination for this analysis. The back-flushconfiguration should be configured according to

38、 the manufac-turers recommendations.6.7 ColumnsCondition all columns used according to themanufacturers suggestions prior to use.6.7.1 Analytical ColumnThe recommended analytical col-umn is a 50 m by 0.53 mm (I.D) Na2SO4deactivated Al2O3porous layer open tubular (PLOT) column. Relative retentionorde

39、r is dependent upon the deactivation method for thecolumn. (WarningSpecifically test the column to ensure thatthe column does not adsorb propadiene and butadienes. Thiscondition can exist depending upon the degree of columndeactivation.)6.7.1.1 Routine re-conditioning of the column may berequired to

40、 maintain column performance.6.7.1.2 Alternatively, any column(s) that provides the ap-propriate component separations may be used. Columns (100m by 0.25 mm (ID) by 0.5 m film thickness) employed instandard methods Test Method D6729 and CGSB 3.0 No. 14.3have been successfully used.6.7.2 Pre-column (

41、optional)If an initial back flush of theC5olefins or hexane plus (C6+) components, or both, throughthe use of the sequence reversal/back flush valve is desired, asecond column is required. Any pre-column that providesseparation between the components of interest and the com-posite heavier components

42、 may be used. Choices may includelengths of column such as a 10 to 30 m section of 0.53 mm(I.D.) 1 m film thickness dimethylpolysiloxane or polyethyl-ene glycol capillary column ora9to15cmsection of the samecolumn material as the analytical column or any pre-columnthat provides the desired retention

43、 of C5olefins, hexanes, andheavier components. This pre-column acts to keep the heaviercomponents away from the analytical column and to back flushthe heavier components as a composite peak to the detector forquantitation. A pre-column that also has the ability to retainwater and oxygenated hydrocar

44、bon compounds is recom-mended to keep those materials from entering the analyticalcolumn.7. Reagents and Materials7.1 Carrier GasesFor carrier gases, it is recommended toinstall commercial active oxygen scrubbers and water dryers,such as molecular sieves, ahead of the instrument to protect thesystem
