EN 6042 Aviation Series - Organic Compounds - Test Method - Analysis by Infrared Spectroscopy

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of EN 6042 testing. This test method describes principles applicable to the infrared transmission spectrophotometric analysis of organic compounds (elastomers, basic resins, resin mixtures or resin systems) used as matrix in reinforced polymers, adhesives, binder primers and in general all organic compounds.

The method can also be applied to some inorganic products. It is intended for use with the specific test conditions specified in the material specification that initiated the test.

This standard does not give any instructions necessary to meet health and safety requirements. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to take appropriate health and safety precautions.

Organic molecules consist of atoms bonded together. Many bonds vibrate at a characteristic frequency in the infrared (IR) range. If a monochromatic IR beam hits the molecule and its frequency corresponds to the natural frequency of vibration between functional groups, the energy from the beam is absorbed.

Therefore, changing the wavelength of the beam produces a series of absorption lines corresponding to various molecular bonds. This series of lines forms a spectrum. The sample is exposed to a beam at all frequencies of interest, and a computer determines which wavelengths are absorbed. The preferred method is Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR).

The IR absorption spectrum is reproducible and largely unaffected by the apparatus. Available for:

  • Identify the main organic functional groups of the molecule (carbonyl, ether, amine, epoxy, etc.);
  • To identify a material by comparing it to reference spectra.
