1、Designation:D650500(Reapproved 2012)Standard Test Method forAssay of normal-Propyl Bromide Content1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6505;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A
2、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 provides a basis for the determinationof the normal-propyl bromide(weight%)in the presence ofstabilizers and impurities,in
3、 virgin or reclaimed normal-propylbromide(nPB).The application range is from 50 to 100 wt%.2.Summary of Test Method2.1 This analytical test method describes the determinationof the assay of n-propyl bromide by gas chromatography usingan internal standard.The results are reported in weight percent.3.
4、Significance and Use3.1 This test method provides an analysis in weight percentof the normal-propyl bromide concentration of virgin,formulated,or reclaimed normal-propyl bromide:compoundsthat co-elute with normal-propyl bromide or normal-heptane(internal standard)may interfere with this test method.
