8、 Methods3.1 Test Method A:Internal Standard ProcedureThisprocedure is used when the impurities are at 0.00010 to 0.1000wt%levels.A known amount of internal standard is added tothe sample.A portion of the sample is injected into thechromatograph and the levels of impurities are calculatedrelative to
9、the amount of internal standard added.The amountof measured impurities,including benzene,is subtracted from100.00 to establish the purity of the cyclohexane samples.3.2 Test Method B:Straight Normalization ProcedureAportion of the sample is injected into the chromatograph using1These test methods ar
