1、Designation:D473519Standard Test Method forDetermination of Trace Thiophene in Refined Benzene byGas Chromatography1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4735;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of
2、 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 thiophenein refined benzene in the range from 0.80 to 1.80 mg/kg for theFlam
3、e Photometric Detector(FPD),and from 0.14 to 2.61mg/kg for the Pulsed Flame Photometric Detector(PFPD).Forthe PFPD,the minimum level of quantitation(LOQ)is 0.14mg/kg and the minimum level of detection(LOD)is 0.04mg/kg,as described inASTM Research Report RR:D16-1038.2The range of the test method may
4、be extended by modifyingthe sample injection volume,split ratios,calibration range,orsample dilution with thiophene-free solvent.1.2 This test method has been found applicable to benzenecharacteristic of the type described in Specifications D2359and D4734 and may be applicable to other types or grad
5、es ofbenzene only after the user has demonstrated that the procedurecan completely resolve thiophene from the other organiccontaminants contained in the sample.1.3 The following applies to all specified limits in this testmethod:for purposes of determining conformance to appli-cable specification us
