This method is applicable to the analysis by gas chromatography of commercial butane-butene mixtures and of commercial isobutylene of at least 90 percent purity. The sample is introduced into a gas-liquid partition column; the components are separated as they pass through the column with a carrier gas, and their presence is detected and recorded as a chromatogram. For butane-butene mixtures the composition of the sample is determined from the chromatogram by comparing peak heights or areas with those obtained from a standard sample. The composition of high-purity samples (greater than 98 percent purity) is determined from the chromatograms by measuring the area under peaks.
