ASTM D1946

Analysis of Reformed Gas by Gas Chromatography

Applicability: ASTM D1946 is a standard practice for the analysis of reformed gas by gas chromatography, specifically designed to determine the chemical composition of reformed gas and similar gaseous mixtures using gas chromatography with a thermal conductivity detector (GC-TCD).

Purpose: ASTM D1946 is a method for analyzing the chemical composition of reformed gas and gaseous mixtures, which are often used in various industrial processes. The method utilizes gas chromatography (GC) with a thermal conductivity detector (TCD) to identify and quantify the different gases present in the sample. This method can determine the concentration of gases like hydrogen (H2), oxygen (O2), nitrogen (N2), methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), ethane, and ethylene, among others.
