Summary of Test Method4.1 The specimen to be analyzed is injected into a gaschromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID)and a capillary column. The peak area of each component ismeasured and adjusted using effective carbon number (ECN)4respons

18、e factors. The concentration of each component iscalculated based on its relative percentages of total adjustedpeak area and normalized to 100.0000 %.5. Significance and Use5.1 Determining the type and amount of hydrocarbon im-purities remaining from the manufacture of toluene, mixedxylenes, p-xylen

19、e, o-xylene, ethylbenzene, benzene, and sty-rene used as chemical intermediates and solvents is oftenrequired. This test method is suitable for setting specificationsand for use as an internal quality control tool where theseproducts are produced or are used. Typical impurities are:alkanes containin

20、g 1 to 10 carbons atoms, benzene, toluene,ethylbenzene (EB), xylenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons con-taining nine carbon atoms or more.5.2 This method may not detect all components and theremay be unknown components that would be assigned inappro-priate response factors and thus, the results may not

There-fore the concentrations are determined as a composite. In theevent that the benzene concentration must

22、be determined, analternate method such as Test Method D6229 must be selectedto ensure an accurate assessment of the benzene concentration.6.2 The complete separation of p-xylene from ethylbenzene,or ethylbenzene and m-xylene from p-xylene can be difficultwhen either ethylbenzene or p-xylene is analy

23、zed, respecively.The separation can be considered adequate if the distance fromthe baseline to the valley between the two peaks is not greaterthan 50 % of the peak height of lower of the two peaks.7. Apparatus7.1 Chromatographic data system is required.7.2 ColumnsThe choice of column is based on res
