3、e and total eight-carbon(C8)and heavier aromatics in theconcentration range from 0.1 to 30%in mineral spirits havinga distillation range from 149 to 210 C(300 to 410 F)asdetermined by Test Method D86.The procedures permit theidentification and calculation of concentrations of aromaticcomponents to 0
4、.1 volume%.1.2 It is recognized by analytical chemists that a singlecolumn gas chromatography analysis of an unknown sample isrisky.In such cases,multiple and different analytical tech-niques must be used for absolutely positive identification,forexample,several different gas chromatography columns,
