1、Designation:D846022Standard Test Method forQuantification of Volatile Organic Compounds Using ProtonTransfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D8460;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of
2、revision,the year of 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.Scope1.1 This test method describes a technique of quantifyingthe results from measuring various volatile organ
3、ic compoundcontents using a chemical ionization mass spectrometer result-ing in the production of positively charged target compoundions.Depending on the nature of production of so-calledprimary ions,the associated instruments having the capabilityto perform such analyses are either named Proton Tra
4、nsferReaction Mass Spectrometers(PTR-MS),Selected Ion FlowTube Mass Spectrometers(SIFT-MS)or,in the most genericterm,Mid-pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometers(MPCI-MS).Within this standard,the term PTR-MS is used torepresent any of these instrumentations.1.2 Either of the instrument types
5、can be used with the twomain mass analyzers on the market,that is,with eitherquadrupole(QMS)or time-of-flight(TOFMS)mass analyzer.This method relates only to the quantification portion of theanalysis.Due to large differences in user interfaces andoperating procedures for the instruments of the main
6、instru-ment providers,the specifics on instrument operation are notdescribed in this method.1.3 Details on the theoretical aspects concerning ion pro-duction and chemical reactions are included in this standard asfar as required to understand the quantification aspects andpractical operation of the

9、t be regarded as nonconformance with this standard.1.5 All observed and calculated values shall conform to theguidelines for significant digits and rounding established inPractice D6026.1.5.1 The procedures used to specify how data are collected/recorded or calculated in the standard are regarded as
10、 theindustry standard.In addition,they are representative of thesignificant digits that generally should be retained.The proce-dures used do not consider material variation,purpose forobtaining the data,special purpose studies,or any consider-ations for the users objectives;and it is common practice
11、 toincrease or reduce significant digits of reported data to becommensurate with these considerations.It is beyond the scopeof this standard to consider significant digits used in analysismethods for engineering data.1.6 This standard may involve hazardous materials,operations,and equipment.This sta
