Method 1664A was developed
to determine the precise
amount of n-Hexane Extractable
Material (HEM) and Silica
Gel Treated n-Hexane Extractable
Material (SGT-HEM) that
exist within a water sample.
The HEM or SGT-HEM that
is extracted contains
a mix of various hydrocarbons
usually residing within
the semi-volatile range
with a boiling point greater
than 85°C. The resulting
weight of HEM or SGT-HEM
is determined gravimetrically.
Method 1664A is a unique
method at Horizon Technology,
as it is able to be automated
on all our extractors,
and we have developed
Application Notes which,
when programmed into the
extractors controller,
allow for the automated
extraction of Oil and
Grease samples on any
of our extractors.
