ResumoOil mist can be efficiently collected on filter paper or by an electrostatic precipitator. Samples containing 0.05 mg of oil can be accurately determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry. Gross amounts of sample contaminants, such as soil, water, and pipe scale, can be tolerated without appreciable loss in accuracy. Petroleum distillate vapor is efficiently collected on silica gel or in a midget bubbler containing chloroform. Maximum collection efficiency is achieved at sampling rates not exceeding 100 cc/min. Samples containing as little as 0.5 mg in 10 ml of chloroform or ethanol may be determined by spectrophotometry. With both oil and petroleum distillate determinations, it is necessary to obtain a sample of the particular product in question in order to construct a standard spectrophotometric curve.
