ASTM D7649-10

1.1 This test method describes a procedure primarily for the determination of carbon dioxide, argon, nitrogen, oxygen and water in high pressure fuel cell grade hydrogen by gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) with injection of sample at the same pressure as sample without pressure reduction, which is called "Jet Pulse Injection". The procedures described in this method were designed to measure carbon dioxide at 0.5micromole per mole (ppmv), Argon 1 ppmv, nitrogen 5 ppmv and oxygen 2 ppmv and water 4 ppmv.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are standard. The values stated in inch-pound units are for information only.

1.3 The mention of trade names in standard does not constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. Other manufacturers of equipment or equipment models can be used.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
