7、al standard,toluene or other suitable known,added to thesample.From response factors of these impurities relative tothat of the internal standard and the amount of the standardadded,the concentration of the impurities are calculated.Otherimpurities,such as water,are obtained by use of Test MethodsE1
8、178.The acrylonitrile content is obtained by subtracting thetotal amount of all impurities from 100.0.4.Significance and Use4.1 This test method is designed to obtain acrylonitrilepurity on the basis of impurities normally present in acryloni-trile and may be useful for final product inspection and
9、processcontrol.4.2 This test method will measure the following impurities:acetone,acrolein,acetonitrile,and acetaldehyde.It also willallow calibration of other impurities including benzene,methacrylonitrile,oxazole,propionitrile,cis-crotononitrile,trans-crotononitrile,and others where specific impur
