Reference
Table 2. Results of chromatogram of test Substance:
| Terpinene Alpha | tR1 | tR2 | tRm | k | log k | log Pow |
| 18.132 | 18.138 | 18.135 | 9.5467 | 0.9799 | 5.3 |
tR1, tR2, tRm: retention times (1st measurement, 2nd measurement, average)
k=(tR/t0)-1: capacity factor, where t0: dead time i.e. retention time of thio urea.
The linear regression parameters calculated from the reference substances were: correlation coefficient r = 0.9968, a = 3.3791, b = 1.9681.
log Pow = a * log k + b
