ASTM D 6159 Document Information:
Title
Standard Test Method for Determination of Hydrocarbon Impurities in Ethylene by Gas Chromatography
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 1997
Scope:
This test method covers the determination of methane, ethane,
propane, propene, acetylene, iso-butane, propadiene, butane,
trans-2-butene, butene-1, isobutene, cis-2-butene, methyl acetylene
and 1,3-butadiene in high-purity ethylene. The purity of the
ethylene can be calculated by subtracting the total percentage of
all impurities from 100.00 %. Since this test method does not
determine all possible impurities such as CO, CO2,
H2O, alcohols, nitrogen oxides, and carbonyl sulfide, as
well as hydrocarbons higher than decane, additional tests may be
necessary to fully characterize the ethylene sample.
Data are reported in this test method as ppmV (parts per million
by volume). This test method was evaluated in an interlaboratory
cooperative study in the concentration range of 4 to 340 ppmV (2 to
204 mg/kg). The participants in the interlaboratory cooperative
study reported the data in non-SI units. Wherever possible, SI
units are included.
This standard dose 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.
