5、0.03 to 100 mole percent using athermal conductivity detector(TCD)and C1to C6hydrocar-bons have a lower detection limit in the range of 0.005 to 100mole percent using a flame ionization detector(FID);using aTCD may increase the lower detection limit to approximately0.03 mole percent.1.3.1 Hydrocarbo
6、n detection limits can be reduced with theuse of pre-concentration techniques and/or cryogenic trapping.1.4 This test method does not fully determine individualhydrocarbons heavier than benzene,which are grouped to-gether as C7+When detailed analysis is not required thecompounds with carbon number g
