Method 2527

Nitromethane by GC/NPD


This method is for the determination of nitromethane. The sample is collected on Chromosorb 106 sorbent tubes, desorbed in 5 mL of ethyl acetate, and analyzed by GC/NPD. The working range is 60 to 360 ppm (150 to 900 mg/m³) for a 2 L air sample. NOTE: This method revises Method S220.
