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 ismeasu

This test method is suitable for setting specificationsand for use as an internal quality control tool where theseproducts are pr

20、oduced or are used. Typical impurities are:alkanes containing 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 in

21、appro-priate response factors and thus, the results may not beabsolute.6. Interferences6.1 In some cases for toluene, mixed xylenes, p-xylene,o-xylene, ethylbenzene and styrene, it may be difficult toresolve benzene from the nonaromatic hydrocarbons. There-fore the concentrations are determined as a

22、 composite. In theevent that the benzene concentration must 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 c
