ASTM D4626 : 95(2010)

Standard Practice for Calculation of Gas Chromatographic Response Factors

Standard Details

1.1 This practice covers a procedure for calculating gas chromatographic response factors. It is applicable to chromatographic data obtained from a gaseous mixture or from any mixture of compounds that is normally liquid at room temperature and pressure or solids, or both, that will form a solution with liquids. It is not intended to be applied to those compounds that react in the chromatograph or are not quantitatively eluted. Normal C₆ through C₁₁ paraffins have been chosen as model compounds for demonstration purposes.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values stated in inch-pound units are for information only.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
