Standard Guide for Analysis of Propylene Concentrates

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This guide is intended to provide information on the likely composition of propylene concentrates and on probable ways to test them. Since there are currently no ASTM test methods for determining all components of interest, this guide provides information on other potentially available test methods.  
4.2 Although this guide is not to be used for specifications, it can provide a starting point for parties to develop mutually agreed upon specifications which meet their respective requirements. It can also be used as a starting point in finding suitable test methods for determining various components of propylene.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide covers a list of the major grades of propylene concentrates produced in North America. It includes possible components and test methods, both ASTM and other, either actually used, or believed to be in use, to test for these properties. This guide is not intended to be used or construed as a set of specifications for any grade of propylene concentrate.  
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.  
1.3 This 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 This 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.

Overview

ASTM D5273-23, titled Standard Guide for Analysis of Propylene Concentrates, provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the composition and appropriate analytical strategies for propylene concentrates produced in North America. This guide covers major grades of propylene concentrates, the typical components encountered, and relevant test methods, drawing on both ASTM standards and other industry practices. It supports laboratories, producers, and stakeholders in selecting fit-for-purpose analysis methods while emphasizing that it is not intended to serve as a product specification.

The main focus of ASTM D5273-23 is to assist in identifying likely components of propylene concentrates, suggest possible analytical methods, and support the development of mutually agreeable specifications and analysis protocols among parties.

Key Topics

  • Grades of Propylene Concentrates: The guide covers polymer, chemical, and refinery grades with varying propylene content above 50%.
  • Component Identification: Provides an overview of likely components, including hydrocarbons (e.g., propane, ethylene, butanes), volatile compounds, sulfur species, nitrogen, chloride, oxygenates, and trace contaminants.
  • Sampling Methods:
    • Emphasis on techniques that minimize loss of light components or concentration of heavier species.
    • Recommendations cover floating piston cylinders (as per D3700), conventional outaging, and vaporization methodologies.
    • Highlights the need for expert supervision and proper sample container selection, especially for reactive or polar analytes.
  • Analytical Techniques:
    • Details both ASTM (e.g., D2163, D2712, D6729, D6667, D4629) and non-ASTM methods currently used in the industry.
    • Includes gas chromatography with various detectors, potentiometric titration (UOP 212), chemiluminescence, colorimetric and microcoulometric methods.
    • Points out adaptations and method variations employed by laboratories for specific analyte measurement.

Applications

ASTM D5273-23 is widely applicable in the following scenarios:

  • Quality Control: Laboratories analyze propylene concentrates to verify the presence and concentration of key hydrocarbons, impurities, and trace substances, supporting process control and shipment acceptance.
  • Specification Development: Although not a specification, the guide provides a reference for negotiating quality agreements and mutually acceptable test protocols between suppliers and purchasers.
  • Method Selection: Process engineers and QA professionals use this guide to identify relevant test methods when establishing laboratory procedures for routine or investigative analysis of propylene concentrates.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Assists organizations in adopting recognized analytical practices and supports adherence to internationally recognized standardization principles, aiding cross-border trade and regulatory acceptance.
  • Technical Training: Serves as an educational resource for technical staff on the typical composition and analysis requirements for propylene products.
