ASTM E1386 Standard Practice for Separation of Ignitable Liquid Residues from Fire Debris Samples by Solvent Extraction

The process of extracting small amounts of ignitable liquid residue from fire debris samples using a solvent is covered in ASTM E1386. Ignitable liquid residues can be effectively extracted using this method across the whole concentration range. An organic solvent is used to extract a sample of fire debris. Dry nitrogen, filtered air, or inert gas are used to filter and concentrate the extract.

    Introduction to ASTM E1386

    ASTM E1386 helps extract materials from fire debris so that gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) can analyze them later. This is an extremely sensitive separation process that can separate amounts of ignitable liquid residue from a sample that is less than 1 µL. MaTestLab is one of the best testing service providers, with the best network of testing laboratories in the USA to carry out ASTM E1386 tests for our clients. ASTM E1386 is very helpful when it’s necessary to minimize the possibility of fractionation during separation. ASTM E1386 works exceptionally well for extracting materials from nonporous surfaces. Additionally, it works exceptionally well for extracting elements from minuscule samples.

    ASTM E1386 Test Method

    Mixing the solvent and the sampleSolvent and debris are mixed to moisten the debris sample. An extraction time of one minute is enough.
    Evaporation of the solventThe solvent is evaporated in the presence of nitrogen, inert gas, or filtered air, without heat, to a volume of 1 mL
    StorageThe samples are stored and sealed in containers

    ASTM E1386 Test Result

    ASTM E1386 clearly describes how to use solvent extraction to remove tiny amounts of ignitable liquid residue from fire debris samples.

    ASTM E1386 Related Tests

    ASTM E1386 is related to tests including ASTM E1388 for vapor sampling from debris samples and ASTM E1412 for separation of combustible liquid residues from fire debris.
