ASTM D5134 : 98(2008)e1

Standard Test Method for Detailed Analysis of Petroleum Naphthas through n-Nonane by Capillary Gas Chromatography

Standard Details

1.1 This test method covers the determination of hydrocarbon components of petroleum naphthas as enumerated in Table 1. Components eluting after n-nonane (bp 150.8°C) are determined as a single group.

1.2 This test method is applicable to olefin-free (<2 % olefins by liquid volume) liquid hydrocarbon mixtures including virgin naphthas, reformates, and alkylates. Olefin content can be determined by Test Method D 1319. The hydrocarbon mixture must have a 98 % point of 250°C or less as determined by Test Method D 3710.

1.3 Components that are present at the 0.05 mass % level or greater can be determined.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.5 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. Specific warning statements are given in Section 7.
