Standard Specification for Drycleaning-Grade Perchloroethylene

ABSTRACT
This specification covers dry cleaning-grade perchloroethylene suitable for use in the dry cleaning industry. Materials shall be tested and the individual grades shall conform to specified values of appearance, water content, residual odor, specific gravity, non-volatile residue content, boiling point, dry point, acid acceptance, and copper corrosion.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers drycleaning-grade perchloroethylene suitable for use in the drycleaning industry.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropraite safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.Note 1
Practice D 3844 provides additional important information on proper labeling.
