Improving Accuracy in the Determination of Aromatics in Gasoline by Gas Chromatography--Mass Spectrometry

Mette Mathiesen, A. J. Lubeck

Open publisher page 7 citations

Abstract

Petroleum industry studies show that the total aromatics content of a gasoline as determined by ASTM Standard Test Method D5769, “Determination of Benzene, Toluene, and Total Aromatics in Finished Gasoline by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry”, is consistently lower than results obtained using other standard test methods. Sources of this bias are investigated, and practical modifications to D5769 to reduce the bias are proposed.
