1、Designation: D2268 93 (Reapproved 2013)Standard Test Method forAnalysis of High-Purity n-Heptane and Isooctane byCapillary Gas Chromatography1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2268; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the

2、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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This te

3、st method covers and provides for the analysis ofhigh-purity (greater than 99.5 % by volume) n -heptane andisooctane (2,2,4-trimethylpentane), which are used as primaryreference standards in determining the octane number of a fuel.Individual compounds present in concentrations of less than0.01 % can

4、 be detected. Columns specified by this test methodmay not allow separation of all impurities in reference fuels.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety

5、 concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Summary of Test Method2.1 The sample is injected into a capillary gas chro

7、nents. As eachcomponent is eluted from the column, it is detected with ahydrogen flame ionization detector and recorded on a conven-tional strip-chart recording potentiometer. The detector re-sponse from each impurity is then compared with that of aknown quantity of an internal standard. After deter

8、mining thetotal impurity concentration, the n-heptane, or isooctane purityis obtained by difference.3. Significance and Use3.1 This test method is used for specification analysis ofhigh-purity n-heptane and isooctane, which are used as ASTMKnock Test Reference Fuels. Hydrocarbon impurities orcontami

9、nants, which can adversely affect the octane number ofthese fuels, are precisely determined by this method.4. Apparatus4.1 ChromatographGas chromatograph should beequipped with a split-stream inlet device for introducingminute quantities of sample without fractionation, a capillarycolumn, and a hydr

The time constant of neither theelectrometer nor the recorder should exceed 1 s.Aball and diskintegrator

17、n of Resolving ColumnNOTE 1There are many different procedures for coating capillarycolumns. A suitable procedure is given in 6.1 through 6.3. Other columnsmay be used provided they meet resolution and repeatability requirementsof the method.6.1 Connect a 229 mm (9-in.) section of stainless steeltub

18、ing 6.4 mm (14-in.) outside diameter, total volume ofapproximately 5 mL) to a high-pressure cylinder of argon,helium, or nitrogen through a pressure regulator. Connect atleast 61 m (200 ft) of Type 316, 321, or 347 stainless steeltubing (0.25-mm (0.010-in.) inside diameter) to the 229-mmsection of 6

19、4 mm tubing which is to be used as a reservoir forthe coating solution. The capillary column is generally coiledon a suitable mandrel before coating. To the other end of thecapillary column, connect an additional 30 to 9 to 12 m (40 ft)of capillary tubing through a 1.6 mm (116-in.) Swagelok union.6.

20、2 Clean the tubing by passing 25 to 30 mL (5 to 6reservoir volumes) of n-pentane through the tubing with about1.7 to 2.1 MPa ( 250 to 300 psig gage) of inert gas. After thecolumn has been cleaned, disconnect the upstream end of thereservoir tube and allow the pressure in the tubing to return toatmos

When the coating solution has been expelledfrom the column, reduce the inlet pressure to 345 kPa (50 psiggage) and allow gas to pass through the column for 1 to

23、 2 h.Disconnect the 9 to 12-m (30 to 40-ft) tail section and thenmount the column in the chromatograph.6.4 To test column resolution use Fig. 1 and calculate R,from the distance between the cyclohexane and n-heptanepeaks at the peak maxima, d, and the widths of the peaks at thebaseline, Y1and Y2.R 5

Sample Preparation7.1 Place 20 to 30 mL of the reference fuel (n-heptane orisooctane) into a 100-mL volumetric flask which has beenpreviously weighed.7.2 Weigh the sample. Using a 0.10-mL volumetric pipet,add 0

25、.10 mL of the internal standard cyclohexane (99 mol %,min) and reweigh. Dilute to the mark with the n-heptane orisooctane sample and weigh. Use a 200-g analytical balanceaccurate to 60.0002 g. From these weights (masses) and therelative density (specific gravities) of cyclohexane andn-heptane or iso

(Relative density (specific gravity) of cyclohexane at20C = 0.7786; n-heptane = 0.6838, and 2,2,4-trimethylpen-tane = 0.6919.)Cyclohexane, volume% 5 wt cyclohexane/rel dens cyclohexane (2) wt

Adjust the excess gas flow through thesplitter to

28、provide a proper sample size to the column.8.2 Using the microsyringe, inject sufficient sample contain-ing the internal standard. Both the sample volume and the splitratio must be considered in choosing the correct volume ofsample to inject. Volumes entering the column in the range of0.002 to 0.005

29、 L have been found satisfactory.8.3 The various impurities present in the primary referencestandards can be identified from retention time data obtained atthe same gas chromatographic conditions. Typical chromato-grams of ASTM n-heptane and ASTM isooctane are shown inFig. 2. Relative retention time

30、data for a number of hydrocar-bons over squalane at 30C are given in Table 1. The retentiontime data of Table 1 are corrected for the gas holdup of thecolumn and are relative to n-heptane.
