A1 - Maiwald, Michael T1 - Quantitative NMR spectroscopy for gas metrology – applications in liquefied petroleum gases N2 - The field of gas metrology is dealing with the development and improvement of gas analytical methods, as well as production of highly accurate primary reference standards. These are prepared at national metrological institutes (NMI) and represent the highest national level of traceability. Used for certification of secondary standards provided by specialty gas distributors these are very important for a high number of industrial sectors, which have to proof traceability due to legal or regulatory affairs, e.g., natural gas suppliers. Thus, improvements in the production and certification of these mixtures will have a direct influence on gas industry. Due to its direct correlation to the number of spins within active sample volume quantitative NMR spectroscopy (qNMR) is a highly promising method with absolute comparison abilities in complex systems. Especially for liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) it has the ability of studying the unmodified sample at same conditions like in the cylinder. In contrast to gas chromatography no preparation steps and no changes like evaporation of the sample are necessary. In this work we show the most recent results of our investigations on highly accurate LPG mixtures provided in constant-pressure piston cylinders. A dynamic pressure-resistant setup allows for sampling and circulation of the samples to ensure a homogeneous withdrawal from the cylinder. This is presented on examples of a commercial multicomponent LPG mixture obtained from specialty gas distributor, as well as two cylinders from the key comparison CCQM-K119 at highest level of international metrology.
