ASTM D1946 – Standard Practice for Analysis of Reformed Gas by Gas Chromatography
Description:
Significance and Use
4.1 The information about the chemical composition can be used to calculate physical properties of the gas, such as heating (calorific) value and relative density. Combustion characteristics, products of combustion, toxicity, and interchangeability with other fuel gases may also be inferred from the chemical composition.
Scope
1.1 This practice covers the determination of the chemical composition of reformed gases and similar gaseous mixtures containing the following components: hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, and ethylene.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
