FIELD: gas chromatography, qualitative and quantitative analysis of unidentified components of compound mixtures of substances belonging to different types of organic combinations. SUBSTANCE: relative coefficient of sensitivity of analyzed components is computed for two detectors by results of chromatographic analysis with use of signals of two detectors connected in series by thermal conductivity and ionization of flame. Molar coefficients of sensitivity are found with its usage jointly with index of containment and experimental dependence of sensitivity on indices for normal paraffin hydrocarbons. EFFECT: improved accuracy of determination of molar coefficients of sensitivity. 2 tbl
