1、Designation: D 6060 96 (Reapproved 2001)Standard Practice forSampling of Process Vents with a Portable GasChromatograph1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6060; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the

2、 year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice describes a method for direct sampling andanalysis of process vents for volatile organic compo

3、und (VOC)vapors and permanent gases using a portable gas chromato-graph (GC).1.2 This practice is applicable to analysis of permanentgases such as oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen(N2), as well as vapors from organic compounds with boilingpoints up to 125C.1.3 The detection limits obtai

4、ned will depend on the por-table gas chromatograph and detector used. Detectors availableinclude thermal conductivity, photoionization, argon ioniza-tion, and electron capture. For instruments equipped withthermal conductivity detectors, typical detection limits are oneto two parts per million by vo

5、lume (ppm(v) with an applicableconcentration range to high percent by volume levels. Forinstruments with photoionization detectors detection limit ofone to ten parts per billion by volume (ppb(v) are obtainablewith a concentration range from 1000 to 2000 ppm(v). Theargon ionization detector has an a

6、chievable detection limit ofone (ppb(v), while the electron capture detector has anachievable detection limit of one part per trillion by volume(ppt(v) for chlorinated compounds.1.4 The applicability of this practice should be evaluated foreach VOC by determining stability, reproducibility, and line

7、ar-ity.1.5 The appropriate concentration range must also be deter-mined for each VOC, as the range will depend on the vaporpressure of the particular VOC.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of t

8、his standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.
