1.1This test method covers the quantitative determination of individual hydrocarbons in liquefied petroleum (LP) gases and mixtures of propane and propene, excluding high-purity propene in the range of C₁ to C₅. Component concentrations are determined in the range of 0.01 % to 100 % by volume.

1.2This test method does not fully determine hydrocarbons heavier than C₅ and non-hydrocarbon materials, and additional tests may be necessary to fully characterize an LPG sample.

1.3The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.4This 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4.1The user is advised to obtain LPG safety training for the safe operation of this test method procedure and related activities.

1.5This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
