Chlorine in Aromatics by MWDXRF
Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of chlorine by monochromatic, wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (MWDXRF) spectrometry in aromatic hydrocarbons, their derivatives, and related chemicals.
1.2 This test method is applicable to samples with chlorine concentrations from 0.66 mg/kg to 10.07 mg/kg. Higher chlorine concentrations can be determined by quantitatively diluting the sample with a suitable solvent. In an interlaboratory study, the limit of detection was determined to be 0.18 mg/kg.
1.3 In determining the conformance of the test results using this method to applicable specifications, results shall be rounded off in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29.
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. For specific hazard information, see Section 9.
