(What is a Work Item? / How to Input to a Work Item)

Work Item: ASTM WK25715 - Revision of D5501 - 09 Standard Test Method for Determination of Ethanol Content of Denatured Fuel Ethanol by Gas Chromatography


Active Standard: D5501 - 09

Developed by Subcommittee: D02.04.0L | Committee D02 Home | Contact Staff Manager



1. Rationale

1) Expand Scope (from 93-99% to 10-99%); 2) Provide example calculations for preparing standards and correcting for purity and water content; 3) Require multiple calibration standards covering the range of ethanol analyzed; 4)Require linear calibration curve with an r-squared value greater than 0.99; 5) Require verification that the ethanol curve approaches zero by restricting the y-intercept; 6) Implementation of QC to monitor both precision and accuracy; and 7)Require review of chromatograms and peak integration. 8) A round robin will be conducted.
