ASTM D7649-19 Standard Test Method for Determination of Trace Carbon Dioxide, Argon, Nitrogen, Oxygen and Water in Hydrogen Fuel by Jet Pulse Injection and Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometer Analysis

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.
