About This Item
ASTM D6142 is the ASTM standard that covers the analysis of phenol by capillary gas chromatography. It is intended to support consistent laboratory measurement of phenol using a defined chromatographic approach, helping users compare results with greater confidence. For organizations involved in testing, quality control, or product evaluation, this standard provides a focused technical reference for a common analytical task where repeatable identification and quantification can matter.
Purpose of ASTM D6142
The purpose of ASTM D6142 is to describe a standard test method for analyzing phenol with capillary gas chromatography. By setting out a recognized laboratory approach, the standard helps promote consistency in how phenol measurements are performed and reported. It is most useful when a controlled analytical method is needed for comparison between labs, internal specifications, or routine quality assessment. As a technical document, it supports more reliable testing practice around phenol analysis.
Common use cases of ASTM D6142
This ASTM standard is commonly used in laboratory environments where phenol analysis is required as part of material testing or product verification. It may be relevant for quality control workflows, incoming inspection, or compliance-oriented testing when capillary gas chromatography is the selected method. ASTM D6142 is also useful for laboratories that need a stable reference procedure for evaluating phenol content or confirming analytical results across repeated runs or different operators.
Why ASTM D6142 matters
ASTM D6142 matters because standardized analytical methods help reduce variation in test results and improve confidence in reported data. In practice, that can support better product evaluation, clearer procurement decisions, and more consistent quality control. When phenol analysis is part of a specification or internal acceptance process, using a recognized ASTM standard can help align testing expectations and reduce misunderstandings between buyers, suppliers, and laboratories. For routine and formal testing alike, consistency is a major advantage.
