1、Designation: D 6733 01 (Reapproved 2006)An American National StandardStandard Test Method forDetermination of Individual Components in Spark IgnitionEngine Fuels by 50-Metre Capillary High Resolution GasChromatography1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6733; the number immediately

2、 following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the 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 test

3、method covers the determination of individualhydrocarbon components of spark-ignition engine fuels withboiling ranges up to 225C. Other light liquid hydrocarbonmixtures typically encountered in petroleum refining opera-tions, such as, blending stocks (naphthas, reformates, alkylates,and so forth) ma

4、y also be analyzed; however, statistical datawas obtained only with blended spark-ignition engine fuels.The tables in Annex A1 enumerate the components reported.Component concentrations are determined in the range from0.10 to 15 mass %. The procedure may be applicable to higherand lower concentratio

5、ns for the individual components; how-ever, the user must verify the accuracy if the procedures areused for components with concentrations outside the specifiedranges.1.2 This test method is applicable also to spark-ignitionengine fuel blends containing oxygenated components. How-ever, in this case,

6、 the oxygenate content must be determined byTest Methods D 5599 or D 4815.1.3 Benzene co-elutes with 1-methylcyclopentene. Benzenecontent must be determined by Test Method D 3606 or D 5580.1.4 Toluene co-elutes with 2,3,3-trimethylpentane. Toluenecontent must be determined by Test Method D 3606 or D

7、 5580.1.5 Although a majority of the individual hydrocarbonspresent are determined, some co-elution of compounds isencountered. If this procedure is utilized to estimate bulkhydrocarbon group-type composition (PONA) the user of suchdata should be cautioned that error may be encountered due toco-elut

8、ion and a lack of identification of all componentspresent. Samples containing significant amounts of naphthenic(for example, virgin naphthas) constituents above n-octanemay reflect significant errors in PONA type groupings. Basedon the interlaboratory cooperative study, this procedure isapplicable t

9、o samples having concentrations of olefins less than20 mass %. However, significant interfering coelution with theolefins above C7is possible, particularly if blending compo-nents or their higher boiling cuts such as those derived fromfluid catalytic cracking (FCC) are analyzed, and the total olefin

10、content may not be accurate. Many of the olefins in sparkignition fuels are at a concentration below 0.10 %; they are notreported by this test method and may bias the total olefinresults low.1.5.1 Total olefins in the samples may be obtained orconfirmed, or both, by Test Method D 1319 (volume %) oro

11、ther test methods, such as those based on multidimensionalPONA type of instruments.1.6 If water is or is suspected of being present, its concen-tration may be determined, if desired, by the use of TestMethod D 1744. Other compounds containing sulfur, nitrogen,and so forth, may also be present, and m

12、ay co-elute with thehydrocarbons. If determination of these specific compounds isrequired, it is recommended that test methods for these specificmaterials be used, such as Test Method D 5623 for sulfurcompounds.1.7 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in

Summary of Test

21、 Method4.1 Representative samples of the petroleum liquid areintroduced into a gas chromatograph equipped with an opentubular (capillary) column coated with specified stationaryphase(s). Helium carrier gas transports the vaporized samplethrough the column in which it is partitioned into individualco

22、mponents, which are sensed with a flame ionization detectoras they elute from the end of the column. The detector signalis recorded digitally by way of an integrator or integratingcomputer. Each eluting component is identified by comparingits retention time to those established by analyzing referenc

23、estandards or samples under identical conditions. The concen-tration of each component in mass % is determined by normal-ization of the peak areas after correction of selected compo-nents with detector response factors. The unknowncomponents are reported individually as well as a summarytotal.5. Sig
