6、 terms andsymbols, refer to Terminology E 131 and Compilation ofASTM Standard Definitions.34. Significance and Use4.1 This practice is intended for all infrared spectroscopistswho are using dispersive instruments for qualitative or quan-titative areas of analysis.4.2 The purpose of this practice is

7、to set forth performanceguidelines for testing instruments used in developing ananalytical method. These guidelines can be used to compare aninstrument in a specific application with the instrument(s) usedin developing the method.4.3 An infrared procedure must include a description of theinstrumenta

8、tion and of the performance needed to duplicate theprecision and accuracy of the method.5. Apparatus5.1 For the purposes of this practice, dispersive instrumentsinclude those employing prisms, gratings, or filters to separateinfrared radiation into its component wavelengths.5.2 For each new method,

9、describe the apparatus andinstrumentation both physically and mechanically, and also interms of performance as taught in this practice. That is, thedescription should give numerical values showing the fre-quency accuracy and the frequency and the photometricprecision. State the spectral slit width m

10、aximum or slit widthprogram if one is used.Where possible, state the maximum andminimum resolution if those data are a part of the instrumentdisplay. Show typical component spectra as produced by theinstrument to establish the needed resolution.5.3 If a computer program is used, describe the program

11、.Include the programming language and availability, or whetherthe program is proprietary to a manufacturer.6. Reference to this Practice in Standards6.1 Reference to this practice should be included in allASTM infrared methods. The reference should appear in thesection on apparatus where the particu

12、lar spectrometer isdescribed.7. Parameters in Spectroscopy7.1 Dispersive infrared spectrometers have a source ofquasi-monochromatic radiation together with a photometer formeasuring relative radiant power. Accurate spectrometry in-volves a large number of interrelated factors that determine thequali

13、ty of the radiant power passing through a sample and thesensitivity and linearity with which this radiant power can bemeasured. Assuming proper instrumentation and its use, theinstrumental factors responsible for inaccuracies in spectrom-etry are resolution, linearity (Practices E 168), stray radian

Rigorous measuremen

17、t of these factors is beyond thescope of this practice, and a more practical approach isdescribed for the accessible factors.8. Instrument Operation8.1 The analyst selects the proper instrumental operatingconditions in order to get satisfactory performance (1-3).4Because instrument design varies, th

18、e manufacturers recom-mendations are usually best. A record of operating conditionsshould be kept so that data can be duplicated by future users.8.2 In addition to operating conditions, the following shouldbe checked and recorded:8.2.1 Ambient temperature,8.2.2 Pen response time,8.2.3 Scanning speed

19、,NOTE 1In some instruments these functions are integrated in the scanmodes.8.2.4 Noise level, and8.2.5 Mechanical repeatability.8.3 Each of the above factors is important in the measure-ment of analytical wavenumber and photometric data. There isusually some lag between the recorded reading and the

20、correctreading. Proper selection of operating conditions and good,reproducible, sample handling techniques minimize these ef-fects or make the effects repeatable. For example:8.3.1 Variation in temperature of the monochromator orsample may cause changes in wavenumber precision andaccuracy.8.3.2 Scan

21、ning too fast will displace the apparent wavenum-ber towards the direction scanned and will decrease the peakabsorbance reading for each band.NOTE 2Some instruments provide for automatic monitoring andcorrection of this effect.8.4 Mechanical repeatability of the monochromator andrecording system as

22、well as positioning of chart paper areimportant in wavenumber measurement.8.4.1 Chart paper should be checked for uniformity of theprinted scale length as received and rechecked at time of use,particularly if the paper has been subjected to pronouncedhumidity changes. Instructions on obtaining prope

23、r mechanicalrepeatability may be given in the manufacturers literature.8.5 In the case of computerized dispersive instruments, anyspectrum printed from a computer file must be obtained asprescribed by the manufacturer and should be identical to theoriginal data.PRECISION AND ACCURACY9. Definitions9.

24、1 wavenumber precisiona measure of the capability of aspectrometer to return to the same spectral position as mea-sured by a well-defined absorption or emission band when theinstrument is reset or rescanned. The index used in this practiceis the standard deviation.9.2 wavenumber accuracythe deviatio

25、n of the averagewavenumber reading of an absorption band or emission bandfrom the known wavenumber of that band.10. Nature of Test10.1 For the purpose of calibration, most methods employpure compounds and known mixtures at specified analyticalwavenumbers. The wavenumbers are either read from a dial,

26、optical display, chart paper, or a computer file.11. Reference Wavenumbers in the Infrared Region (2)11.1 The recommended wavenumber calibration points arethe absorption maxima of a standard (98.4/0.8/0.8 by weight)indene/camphor/cyclohexanone mixture listed in Table 1. Suit-able path lengths are 0.

27、2 mm for the range from 3800 to 1580cm1and 0.03 mm for the wavenumber range from 1600 to 600cm-1. A mixture containing equal parts by weight of indene,camphor, and cyclohexanone (1/1/1 by weight) at a path lengthof 0.1 mm may be used for the range from 600 to 300 cm1.See Table 2 and Fig. 1.11.2 Poly

28、styrene is also a convenient calibration standardfor the wavenumber range from 4000 to 400 cm1. Polystyrenefilms, approximately 0.03 to 0.05 mm thick, can be purchasedfrom instrument manufacturers. The recommended calibrationpeaks are listed in Fig. 2.NOTE 3The correction of frequency for the refrac

29、tive index of air issignificant in the wavenumber calculation only when wavelengths havebeen measured to better than 3 parts in 10 000. Reference (3) tabulatesadditional reference wavenumbers of interest.11.3 For low-resolution prism or filter instruments operatedin single-beam mode, the position of

30、 the atmospheric carbondioxide band near 2350 cm1can be useful. This band may beresolved into a doublet.

Dynamic Error Test12.1 For dispersively measured spectra, the following dy-namic error test is suitable for use with most grating and prismspectrometers. (4 and 5)12.2 The spect

34、rum of the (98.4/0.8/0.8) indene/camphor/cyclohexanone mixture is remeasured from 1350 to 850 cm1at one fourth of the scan rate used for the reference spectrumand with other operating conditions unchanged.

35、asured in absorbance units onboth the fast and slowly scanned charts. The absorbance ratiosA1226.2/A1288.0, A1205.1/A1226.2, and A914.7/A1018.5should not differ by more than 60.02 between the fast andslow runs.NOTE 4The indene/camphor/cyclohexanone should remain in sealed,refrigerated ampoules.13. S

36、election of Slit Width or Slit Program13.1 One of the most important parameters the analyst mustselect is the spectral slit width. The slit width affects resolutionand the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). Generally, a narrower slitwidth gives higher resolution and lower S/N ratio. These mustbe optimized

37、 for any given analysis.13.2 The preferred manner of expressing resolution is interms of spectral band width, but methods of measuring thisquantity in all spectral regions are not available.13.2.1 Spectral band width is not constant throughout thespectrum and therefore must be determined in each reg

38、ion ofinterest. In the neighborhood of 1200 cm1, the spectral bandwidth can be determined approximately from the ratioA1205.1/A1226.2 of the (98.4/0.8/0.8) indene/camphor/cyclohexanone mixture, computed in the dynamic error test, asgiven in Table 3.13.3 In each infrared method, typical spectra of th

39、e compo-nents, or a spectrum of a suitable mixture of components,should be included to illustrate the resolution found to beadequate to perform the analysis. These spectra should bedirect copies of the plotted spectra and not redrawn curves.PHOTOMETRY14. Linearity of Absorbance14.1 In a spectrometri

40、c method, photometric data are usedto determine concentrations. Linearity of absorbance is afunction of instrument response. The relationship must bedetermined in the concentration range of interest.14.2 Procedure for testing linearity and establishing work-ing curves are described in Practices E 16

41、8.14.3 Some methods for quantitative analysis do not requirelinear response. The ultimate criterion for these is whether amethod gives correct answers for known samples.15. Measurement Procedure for Frequency Accuracy andPrecision15.1 From Tables 1-3, select calibration wavenumbers,preferably bracke

42、ting each analytical wavenumber and readeach wavenumber ten times.15.2 Average the observed readings for each wavenumber.The wavenumber accuracy is the difference between the truewavenumber and the average observed wavenumber.NOTE 5To check the wavenumber accuracy of a non-scanning instru-ment, bala

43、nce the instrument at the true value of the absorbancemaximum. Adjust the wavenumber drive until maximum apparent absor-bance is found.Always approach the line or band from the same direction.Repeat ten times.15.3 Calculate the precision of each observed wavenumberusing the following equation:s 5(Xi

44、2 X!2n 2 1(1)where:s = estimated standard deviation of the series of results,Xi= individual observed value (wavenumber, absorbance,or transmittance)X= average (arithmetic mean) of the observed values, andn = number of observations.15.4 Results should be specified in the following order: truepeak pos

45、ition of reference material, average wavenumberdetermined, and wavenumber standard deviation.16. Measurement Procedure for Photometric Precision16.1 Photometric precision represents the capability of thephotometer system to reproduce the same value in successivedeterminations. The index of precision

46、 used in this practice isthe standard deviation.16.2 Photometric precision is determined on a calibrationsample by measuring the absorbance or transmittance of thesame sample ten times, following the same procedure used toobtain the data for the linearity test.16.3 Tabulate the individual readings o

47、f apparent absor-bance or transmittance. Calculate the standard deviation of theten readings using the equation in 15.3. Report the averagereading and the standard deviation.17. Stray Radiate Power17.1 Stray radiant power (SRP) causes an error in thespectrometer zero transmittance reading. If measur

48、ed at thedesignated path lengths, the indene/camphor/cyclohexanonereference spectrum should show essentially zero transmittanceat 3050.0, 1609.6 and 765.4 cm1. The test spectra at thesewavenumbers should therefore match the spectrometer trans-mittance zero within the manufacturers tolerances. A0.4-m
