Significance and Use5.1 Methanol is used in blends with gasoline at levels of70 % to 85 % by volume, as specified in Specification D5797.This test method provides a quantitative approach to measurethe methanol c

26、ontent in methanol fuel blends, from 10 % to99 % by volume. The usual concentration is 70 % to 85 % byvolume (M70 to M85). The method is also used to analyze fuelmethanol (M99) prior to blending.6. Apparatus6.1 Gas Chromatograph, capable of operating at the condi-tions listed in Table 1 and Table 2.

27、 A heated flash vaporizinginlet, also known as a split inlet, is designed to provide a linearsample split injection (for example, 500:1). This inlet isrequired for proper sample introduction.

Detectors should meet the sensitivity criteria ofPractice E594.6.1.1 A heart-cut is a technique which utilizes a switchingdevice to which the following five (5) components are con-n

36、polar polydimethylsiloxane bonded (cross-linked) phasecoating, having 30 m by 0.25 mm with a 0.25 m filmthickness, is used as primary column. This column is installedfrom the split inlet to the microfluidic device. Follow PracticeE1510 for column installation at the split inlet. The column isalso in

37、serted to the proper port of the microfluidic device withan appropriate ferrule. Follow the instructions of the manufac-turer of the microfluidic device when inserting the column andsetting the ferrule to the column. Utmost care is required whenmaking the connection of the ferrule to the device in o

40、dup time of peaks eluting from the primary columnto the monitor detector. A typical sized restrictor will be ofapproximately1minlength and 0.1 mm internal diameter. Itis connected from the device to the monitor detector. Thislength is sufficient to accommodate the equivalent pneumaticresistance of t

41、he analytical column. The dimensions of therestrictor facilitate the fast transfer of the eluents from theprimary column so as to provide negligible delay in reachingthe monitor detector. Thus accurate cut times can be deter-mined.6.4 Microfluidic DeviceThe microfluidic device shall betreated to bec
