This method covers the determination of the composition of liquefied petroleum (LP) gases. It is applicable to analysis of propane, propylene, and butane in all concentration ranges 0.1 percent and above. Components in a sample of LP-Gas are physically separated by gas chromatography and compared to corresponding components separated under identical operating conditions from a reference standard mixture of known composition or from use of pure hydrocarbons. The chromatogram of the sample is interpreted by comparing peak heights or areas with those obtained on the reference standard mixture of pure hydrocarbons.
