20、 makes reference to manycommon gas chromatographic procedures, terms, and relation-ships. Detailed definitions can be found in Practice E 355.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Representative samples of the petroleum liquid areintroduced into a gas chromatograph equipped with an opentubular (capillary) co

21、lumn coated with the specified stationaryphase. Helium carrier gas transports the vaporized samplethrough the column, in which it is partitioned into individualcomponents which are sensed with a flame ionization detectoras they elute from the end of the column. The detector signalis recorded digital

Each eluting component is identified by comparingits retention time to that established by analyzing referencestandards or samples under identical conditions. The concen-tration of each component in mass % is determined bynormalization of the peak a

25、 producingrepeatable oven ramps from 0 to at least 300C is required.The following features are useful during the sample analysisphase: electronic flow readout, electronic sample split-ratioreadout, and electronic pneumatic control of flow. Though theiruse is not required, careful review of this test

26、 method willdemonstrate the usefulness of a gas chromatograph equippedwith these features. These features will replace the need tocarry out the manual calculations that must be performed aslisted in 8.1 and 8.2.6.2 Inleta capillary split/splitless inlet system operated inthe split mode is recommende

Other carrier gas control methods such asconstant flow (pressure programming) may be used, but th

31、6.4 Data System, a computer based chromatography datasystem capable of accurately and repeatedly measuring theretention time and areas of eluting peaks. The system shall beable to acquire data at a rate of at least 10 Hz.Although it is notmandatory, a data system which calculates column resolution(R
