It is applicable to p-xylene with determination purity not less than 99% (mass fraction) and the detection limit of this standard to hydrocarbon impurities such as non-aromatic hydrocarbon, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m-xylene, o-xylene, cumene and p-diethylbenzene is 0.001% (mass fraction).

3 Principle
3.1 Internal standard method
Add a certain amount of internal standard to the specimen and mix well. Under the conditions specified in this standard, inject a proper amount of specimen containing internal standard into a chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID). Separate p-xylene from each impurity component effectively on the chromatographic column, measure the peak area of each impurity and internal standard, and calculate the content of each impurity by the internal standard method, then subtract the obtained total amount of impurities from100% to obtain the purity of p-xylene.
3.2 Calibration area normalization method
Under the conditions specified in this standard, inject a proper amount of specimen into a chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID). Separate p-xylene from each impurity component effectively on the chromatographic column and measure the peak areas of all components. Calculate the purity of p-xylene and contents of various impurities according to the effective carbon number by calibration area normalization method.
