About this manual

The document details a method for analyzing aromatic hydrocarbons in finished gasoline, blending feedstock, and straight-run naphtha. It utilizes an Agilent 6820 Gas Chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID) and a single polar HP-INNOWax capillary column.

The analysis employs an internal standardization method using n-tridecane to achieve quantitative concentration data for 57 aromatic target compounds. The text provides specific analytical conditions, including inlet temperature, carrier gas flow, oven programming, and detector settings, along with theoretical response factors for various hydrocarbon groups.
