ASTM E 204 Document Information:
Title
Standard Practices for Identification of Material by Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy, Using the ASTM Coded Band and Chemical Classification Index
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Dec 10, 1998
Scope:
These practices cover a data system generated from 1955 through
1974. It is in world-wide use as the largest publicly available
data base. It is recognized that it does not represent the optimum
way to generate a new data base with the most modern computerized
equipment.
These practices describe procedures for identification of
individual chemical substances using infrared absorption
spectroscopy and band indexes of spectral data. Use of absorption
spectroscopy for qualitative analysis has been described by many
(1-8),2 but the rapid matching of the
spectrogram of a sample with a spectral data in the literature by
use of a band index system designed for machine sorting was
contributed by Kuentzel (9). It is on Kuentzel's
system that the ASTM indexes of absorption spectral data are
based.
Use of these practices requires, in addition to a recording
spectrometer and access to published reference spectra, the encoded
data and suitable data handling equipment.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.
