(Specification)Standard Specification for Technical Grade Methylene Chloride
Standard Specification for Technical Grade Methylene Chloride
ABSTRACT
This specification covers technical grade methylene chloride. Technical grade methylene chloride shall conform to the requirements prescribed. Tests shall be performed to determine the property requirements of the material in accordance to the following test methods: appearance; color; specific gravity; distillating range; nonvolatile residue; acidity; water; and free halogens.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers technical grade methylene chloride.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.3 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 appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
Note 1: See Guide D3844, Practice D4276, and STP 403A2 for additional important information on solvent handling and solvent properties.
