The Agilent 4815 GC Oxygenates Analyzer is a gas chromatograph designed for the analysis of oxygenates in gasoline. The system is optimized for the analysis of oxygenates in gasoline according to ASTM D-4815 method.
This document describes the Agilent 4815 GC Oxygenates Analyzer, a system specifically configured for the analysis of oxygenated compounds in gasoline according to the ASTM D-4815 standard. The analyzer is optimized to provide reliable results regardless of the operator's skill level and includes comprehensive documentation for operational procedures.
The system configuration consists of two analysis columns, a split/splitless capillary injector, a 10-port rotary valve, and a single Flame Ionization Detector (FID). It is designed to quantify individual ethers and alcohols in gasoline, including MTBE, ETBE, TAME, DIPE, and various C1-C4 alcohols, with specific measurement ranges for each component.
| Measurement Range (Ethers) | 0.1 to 20.0 mass % |
|---|---|
| Measurement Range (Alcohols) | 0.1 to 12.0 mass % |
| Standard Method | ASTM D-4815 |
The system is configured and fully tested at the factory to ensure data compliance with the requirements of the ASTM D-4815 standard method.
The analyzer measures individual ethers and alcohols including MTBE, ETBE, TAME, DIPE, tert-amyl alcohol, and C1-C4 alcohols.
