1.1 This practice covers a guide for the multivariate calibration of infrared (IR) spectrophotometers and Raman spectrometers used in determining the physical, chemical, and performance properties of petroleum products, liquid fuels including biofuels, and lubricants. This practice is applicable to analyses conducted in the near infrared (NIR) spectral region (roughly 780 nm to 2500 nm) through the mid infrared (MIR) spectral region (roughly 4000 cm-1 to 40 cm-1). For Raman analyses, this practice is generally applied to Stokes shifted bands that occur roughly 400 cm-1 to 4000 cm-1 below the frequency of the excitation.
Note 1: While the practice described herein deals specifically with mid-infrared, near-infrared, and Raman analysis, much of the mathematical and procedural detail contained herein is also applicable for multivariate quantitative analysis done using other forms of spectroscopy. The user is cautioned that typical and best practices for multivariate quantitative analysis using other forms of spectroscopy may differ from the practice described herein for mid-infrared, near-infrared, and Raman spectroscopies.
