Standard Test Method for Determination of Hydrocarbons in Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gases and Propane/Propene Mixtures by Gas Chromatography
用气相色谱法测定液化石油气和丙烷/丙烯混合物中碳氢化合物的标准试验方法
1.1
This test method covers the quantitative determination of individual hydrocarbons in liquefied petroleum (LP) gases and mixtures of propane and propene, excluding high-purity propene in the range of C
1
to C
5
. Component concentrations are determined in the range of 0.01 % to 100 % by volume.
1.2
This test method does not fully determine hydrocarbons heavier than C
5
and non-hydrocarbon materials, and additional tests may be necessary to fully characterize an LPG sample.
1.3
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

====== Significance And Use ======
5.1
The hydrocarbon component distribution of liquefied petroleum gases and propene mixtures is often required for end-use sale of this material. Applications such as chemical feed stocks or fuel require precise compositional data to ensure uniform quality. Trace amounts of some hydrocarbon impurities in these materials can have adverse effects on their use and processing.
5.2
The component distribution data of liquefied petroleum gases and propene mixtures can be used to calculate physical properties such as relative density, vapor pressure, and motor octane (see Practice
D2598
). Precision and accuracy of compositional data are extremely important when these data are used to calculate various properties of these petroleum products.
