2、ar oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method describes an analytical procedure foridentif
3、ying and quantifying the masses of individual volatileorganic compounds(individual VOCs or IVOCs)that areemitted into a flow of air from carpet specimens and collectedon sorbent sampling tubes during emissions testing.1.2 This test method will be used in conjunction with astandard practice for sampl
4、ing and preparing carpet specimensfor emissions testing.If a specific chamber practice is notavailable for the carpet specimens,this test method should beused in conjunction with approved standard practices foremissions testing and sample preparation.1.3 When used in conjunction with standard practi
5、ces forcarpet specimen preparation and collection of vapor-phaseemissions,this test method will provide a standardized meansof determining the levels of IVOC in the exhaust stream of theemissions test chamber/cell.If this test method is used with areliable practice for emissions testing,these IVOC l
6、evels canbe used to determine the emission rate from a unit quantity(usually surface area)of the sample material under test.1.4 VOCs in the exhaust stream of an emissions test deviceare collected on thermal desorption tubes packed with aspecific combination of sorbents using active(pumped)sam-pling.
7、(See Practice D6196 for a more general description ofvapor collection using pumped sampling onto sorbent tubes.)The samples are analyzed by thermal desorption(TD)with gaschromatography and mass spectrometry detection(GC/MS)and/or flame ionization detection(FID)depending upon therequirements of the s
8、pecific materials emissions testing/certification protocol.1.5 This test method can be used for the measurement ofmost GC-compatible organic vapors ranging from the approxi-mate volatility from n-hexane to n-hexadecane(that is,com-pounds with vapor pressures ranging from 16 kPa to 4 10-4kPa at 25C).
9、Properties other than a compounds vaporpressure such as affinity for the sorbent may need to be takeninto account.Compounds with vapor pressures outside thisrange may or may not be quantifiable by this test method.However,qualitative data concerning the identity of acompound(s),outsidethestatedvolat
10、ilityrangeforquantitation,may still be useful to the user.This test methodcan be applied to analytes over a wide concentration rangetypically 1 g/m3to 1 mg/m3concentration of vapor in theexhaust air from the emission cell or chamber.1.6 This test method is not capable of quantifying allcompounds whi
