ASTM D 7871 : 2023 : REDLINE

1.1This test method covers the determination of the purity of cyclohexane by gas chromatography.

1.2This test method has been found applicable to the measurement of impurities such as those found in Table 1, which are impurities that may be found in cyclohexane. The impurities can be analyzed over a range with an upper limit of 400 mg/kg by this method, but may be applicable to a wider range. The limit of detection (LOD) is 0.7 mg/kg and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) is 2.3 mg/kg.

1.3The following applies for the purposes of determining the conformance of the test results using this test method to applicable specifications: results shall be rounded off in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29.

1.4The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.5This 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazards statements, see Section 8.

1.6This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
