ASTM E 840 Document Information:
Title
Standard Practice for Using Flame Photometric Detectors in Gas Chromatography
ASTM International
Publication Date:
May 15, 1995
Scope:
This practice is intended as a guide for the use of a flame
photometric detector (FPD) as the
detection component of a gas chromatographic system.
This practice is directly applicable to an FPD that employs a
hydrogen-air flame burner, an optical
filter for selective spectral viewing of light emitted by the flame,
and a photomultiplier tube for
measuring the intensity of light emitted.
This practice describes the most frequent use of the FPD which is as
an element-specific detector
for compounds containing sulfur (S) or phosphorus (P) atoms. However,
nomenclature described in
this practice are also applicable to uses of the FPD other than sulfur
or phosphorus specific
detection.
This practice is intended to describe the operation and performance of
the FPD itself independently
of the chromatographic column. However, the performance of the
detector is described in terms which
the analyst can use to predict overall system performance when the
detector is coupled to the
column and other chromatographic system components.
For general gas chromatographic procedures, Practice E 260 should be
followed except where specific
changes are recommended herein for use of an FPD.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other
units of measurement are
included in this standard.
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. For
specific safety information, see Section 4, Hazards.
