Historical Standard: Standard Practice for Describing and Measuring Performance of Fourier Transform Mid-Infrared (FT-MIR) Spectrometers: Level Zero and Level One Tests
ASTM E1421
Scope
1.1 This practice describes two levels of tests to measure the performance of laboratory Fourier transform mid-infrared (FT-MIR) spectrometers equipped with a standard sample holder used for transmission measurements.
1.2 This practice is not directly applicable to FT-IR spectrometers equipped with various specialized sampling accessories such as flow cells or reflectance optics, nor to Fourier Transform Near-Infrared (FT-NIR) spectrometers, nor to FT-IR spectrometers run in step scan mode.
1.2.1 If the specialized sampling accessory can be removed and replaced with a standard transmission sample holder, then this practice can be used. However, the user should recognize that the performance measured may not reflect that which is achieved when the specialized accessory is in use.
1.2.2 If the specialized sampling accessory cannot be removed, then it may be possible to employ a modified version of this practice to measure spectrometer performance. The user is referred to Guide E 1866 for a discussion of how these tests may be modified.
1.2.3 Spectrometer performance tests for FT-NIR spectrometers are described in Practice E 1944.
1.2.4 Performance tests for dispersive MIR instruments are described in Practice E 932.
1.2.5 For FT-IR spectrometers run in a step scan mode, variations on this practice and information provided by the instrument vendor should be used.
