3.1.1 critical pressure, n—that pressure needed to condense
a gas at the critical temperature.
3.1.2 critical temperature, n—the highest temperature at
which a gaseous fluid may be converted to a liquid by means
of compression.
3.1.3 mononuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, n—hydrocarbon
compounds containing exactly one aromatic ring; this group
includes benzene, alkyl-substituted benzenes, indans, tetralins,
alkyl-substituted indans, and alkyl-substituted tetralins.
3.1.4 polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, n—all hydrocar-
bon compounds containing two or more aromatic rings, in
which the rings are fused together such as naphthalene,
acenaphthene, and alkylated derivatives of these hydrocarbons;
may also include biphenyls.
3.1.5 restrictor, n—a device, attached to the outlet of a
chromatographic column, to restrict the mobile phase flow
such that the mobile phase is maintained in the supercritical
state throughout the chromatographic column.
3.1.6 supercritical fluid, n—a fluid maintained in a thermo-
dynamic state above its critical temperature and critical pres-
sure.
3.1.7 supercritical fluid chromatography, n—a class of chro-

includes benzene, alkyl-substituted benzenes, indans, tetralins,
alkyl-substituted indans, alkyl-substituted tetralins,
naphthalene, acenaphthenes, alkylated naphthenes, biphenyl
and three aromatic rings fused together; it is the sum of the
mononuclear and polynuclear hydrocarbons.
4. Summary of Test Method
4.1 A small aliquot of the fuel sample is injected onto a
packed silica adsorption column and eluted using supercritical
carbon dioxide mobile phase. Mononuclear and polynuclear
aromatics in the sample are separated from nonaromatic
hydrocarbons and detected using a flame ionization detector.
4.2 The detector response to hydrocarbons is recorded
throughout the analysis time. The chromatographic areas
corresponding to the monoaromatic, polynuclear aromatic, and
nonaromatic components are determined and the mass percent
content of each of these groups in the fuel is calculated by area
normalization.
5. Significance and Use
5.1 The aromatic hydrocarbon content of aviation turbine
fuels is a factor that can affect their density, elastomer
compatibility, system durability and exhaust emissions. The
aromatic hydrocarbon content and the polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbon such as naphthalene content of aviation turbine
fuels affect their combustion characteristics and smoke-
forming tendencies. These properties are controlled by maxi-
mum aromatics and naphthalene content specifications for
refined aviation turbine fuels (see Specification D1655) and by
both minimum and maximum aromatic content, and maximum

naphthalene content, for semi synthetic aviation turbine fuels
(see Specification D7566).
5.2 The Federal Aviation Administration regulates the aro-
matic content of aviation fuels, thus requiring an appropriate
analytical determination to ensure compliance with the regu-
lations. Producers of aviation fuels will require similar deter-
minations for process and quality control. This test method can
be used to make such determinations.
6. Apparatus Requirements
6.1 Supercritical Fluid Chromatograph (SFC)—Any SFC
instrumentation can be used that has the following capabilities
and meets the performance requirements in Section 8.
6.1.1 Pump—The SFC instrumentation must include a
pump capable of delivering supercritical carbon dioxide to the
column at a constant flow by maintaining a constant operating
pressure set between 180 bar to 220 bar. The pressure fluctua-
tions of the carbon dioxide delivered by the pump shall not
exceed 60.3 % of the operating pressure setpoint.
6.1.2 Detector—This test method is limited to the use of the
flame ionization detector (FID). The detector must have
sufficient sensitivity to detect 0.01 % by mass toluene in
hexadecane under instrument conditions employed in this test
method.
6.1.3 Column Temperature Control—The chromatograph
--``,,`,,``,,,,`,,,```,,``````,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
must be capable of column temperature control of at least
60.5 °C (1 °F) at the operating temperature setpoint. The
setpoint must be at a constant temperature between 35 °C and
45 °C.
6.1.4 Sample Inlet System—A liquid sample injection valve
is required that is capable of introducing samples with an
internal loop size between 0.05 µL to 0.50 µL liquid volume
range. The inlet system should be operated between 25 °C and
30 °C. The sample inlet system must be connected to the
chromatographic column so that loss of chromatographic
efficiency is avoided.
6.1.5 Post-column Restrictor—A device capable of main-
taining mobile phase supercritical conditions within the col-
umn and up to the detector inlet shall be connected to the end
of the column.
6.1.6 Column—Any liquid or supercritical fluid chromato-
graphic column may be used that provides separation of
nonaromatic, monoaromatic, and polynuclear aromatic hydro-
carbons and meets the performance requirements of Section 8.
6.1.7 Integrator—Means must be provided for the determi-
nation of both individual chromatographic peak areas and the
total accumulated area under the chromatogram.
6.1.8 Sample Filter—A microfilter of a porosity of 0.20 µm,
which is chemically-inert to hydrocarbon solvents, shall be
used for the removal of microscopic particulate matter from the
sample solution
7. Reagents and Materials
7.1 Purity of Reagents—Reagent grade chemicals shall be
used in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that
all reagents conform to the specifications of the Committee on
Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society where
2Licensee=Enex Chile S.A./5985366001, User=Ruiz, Francisco

 D8305 − 19
such specifications are available.3 Other grades may be used,
provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficiently
high purity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy of
the determination.
7.2 Air—Zero grade (hydrocarbon-free) is used as the FID
oxidant. (Warning—Air is usually supplied as a compressed
gas under high pressure and supports combustion.)
7.3 Carbon Dioxide (CO2)—Supercritical fluid chromato-
graphic grade, 99.99 % minimum purity, supplied pressurized
in a cylinder equipped with a dip tube for removal of liquid
CO2. (Warning—Liquid at high pressure. Release of pressure
results in production of extremely cold solid CO2 and gas,
which can dilute available atmospheric oxygen.)
7.4 Check Standard—A commercial standard reference
material, which has accepted reference values, in accordance
within Section 6 on Reference Materials in Practice D6299.
Alternatively, samples subjected to round robin may be used as
check standards. It is important that the standard deviation of
the values of the laboratory exchange program not be statisti-
cally greater than the reproducibility for the test method.
7.5 Hydrogen—Hydrogen of high quality (hydrocarbon-
free) is used as the fuel for the flame ionization detector.
(Warning—Hydrogen is usually supplied under high pressure
and is extremely flammable.)
7.6 Performance Mixture—A quantitative mixture of ap-
proximately 75 % by mass hexadecane (n-C16), 20 % by mass
toluene, 3 % by mass tetralin (1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene),
and 2 % by mass naphthalene is used for performance checks.
7.7 Quality Control Sample—A homogeneous material hav-
ing similar physical and chemical properties to the samples to
be analyzed. The choice of such material should be guided by
Section 6 on Reference Materials in Practice D6299. Examples
of such material can be, aviation turbine fuel or other typical
samples containing aromatics and polynuclear aromatics simi-
lar to the samples to be analyzed.
8. Preparation of Apparatus
8.1 Install the SFC instrumentation in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. System operating conditions will
depend upon the column used and optimization of perfor-
mance. If the performance characteristics in terms of retention
and resolution, specified in 8.2, are not achieved, modify the
temperature and pressure to achieve compliance while staying
within the permissible ranges as defined in 6.1 of this test
method.
8.2 System Performance:
8.2.1 Resolution—Analyze the performance mixture pre-
pared in 7.6. Calculate resolution between the nonaromatics
and monoaromatics (RESNM), and, resolution between the

8.2.1.1 Asymmetry—Analyze the performance mixture pre-
pared in 7.6. The asymmetry of the hexadecane peak shall be
less than 1.5 when calculated in accordance to the following
equation (see Fig. 1):
T 5 W 0.05 ⁄ 2f (3)
where:
T = peak asymmetry or tailing factor,

edge, measured at a point 5 % of the peak height
from the baseline, and
f = the distance from the peak maximum to the leading
edge of the peak at the position of 5 % peak.
8.2.2 Detector Sensitivity—Measure the signal to noise ratio
(S/N) for 0.01 % by weight of toluene in hexadecane. The peak
height of toluene shall be five times the baseline noise where
the baseline noise is calculated by 8.2.2.1.
8.2.2.1 To measure the baseline noise, allow the signal to
record for a minimum of 10 min with no less than 300
readings. Calculate the standard deviation (σbaseline) of the
readings. Baseline noise in 8.2.2 = 6 σbaseline.
8.2.3 Retention Time Repeatability—For n-C16 and toluene
peaks, the absolute value of the difference in retention time
between duplicate runs shall not exceed 0.5 % of the average
retention time for the two runs.
8.2.4 Detector Accuracy Test—This test method assumes
that the FID response approximates the theoretical unit carbon
response. To verify this assumption, analyze the performance
mixture and calculate the response factors, relative to hexade-
cane (RRFi), for each of the components in the performance
mix, using the following equations:

11. Quality Control of Test Method Performance
11.1 Confirm the test method performance via regular
testing of quality control (QC) sample(s) following the guid-
ance in Practice D6299.
11.1.1 The frequency of QC testing is dependent on the
criticality of the property being measured, the demonstrated
stability of the testing process, and business requirements.
Generally, a QC sample should be analyzed each testing day
with routine samples. The QC frequency should be increased if
a large number of samples are routinely analyzed. However,
when it is demonstrated that the testing is in statistical control,
the QC testing frequency may be reduced. The QC sample
testing precision should be periodically checked against the
ASTM International published method precision for
consistency, Practice D6792.
11.1.2 The QC material that is regularly tested should be
representative of the samples routinely analyzed. An ample
supply of QC sample material should be available for the
intended period of use and must be homogenous and stable
under the anticipated storage conditions.
11.1.3 Participation in appropriate proficiency testing pro-
grams is recommended for monitoring performance relative to
industry, Guide D7372.
11.1.4 See referenced ASTM standards Practice D6299,
Practice D6792, and Guide D7372 for further guidance.
