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

Work Item: ASTM WK39114 - Revision of D5580 - 02(2007) Standard Test Method for Determination of Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, p/m-Xylene, o-Xylene, C9 and Heavier Aromatics, and Total Aromatics in Finished Gasoline by Gas Chromatography


Active Standard: D5580 - 02(2007)

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



1. Rationale

This test method is up for 5-year re-approval. In addition, a few changes are proposed, such as: 1.Allowance for more flexibility from the exact operating conditions stated in Table 1 since instruments may be slightly different; 2.Clarify language related to m/p-xylenes for which no calibration is performed (o-xylene is used to calibrate for these two xylenes)
