1、Designation:D705718Standard Test Method forAnalysis of Isopropylbenzene(Cumene)by GasChromatography(External Standard)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7057;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year
2、 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.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of the purityof isopropylbenzene(cumene)by gas chromatography.Cali-bration o
3、f the gas chromatography system is done by theexternal standard calibration technique.1.2 This test method has been found applicable to themeasurement of impurities such as nonaromatic hydrocarbons,benzene,toluene,ethylbenzene,phenol,cymenes,t-butylbenzene,n-butylbenzene,n-propylbenzene,alpha-methyl
4、styrene,sec-butylbenzene,and diisopropylbenzenes,which are impurities that can be found in isopropylbenzene.The latter impurities can be analyzed over a range of 1 mg/kgto 500 mg/kg by this method(see Table 1).The limit ofquantitation averages 3.8 mg/kg while the limit of detection forthese impuriti
5、es averages 1.1 mg/kg.1.3 In determining the conformance of the test results usingthis method to applicable specifications,results shall berounded off in accordance with the rounding-off method ofPractice E29.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measureme
