1 ppm for all other components
Methods Met:
Wasson-ECE 262, Wasson-ECE 260 (ethylene only), Wasson-ECE 261 (propylene only)
Typical Chromatogram
Key Features and Benefits
- Separate sampling loops eliminate cross contamination
- On-board vaporizer converts propylene to gas phase prior to injection for more repeatable analyses
