ASTM D5309-16

Standard Specification for Cyclohexane 999

ABSTRACT
This specification covers a grade of cyclohexane identified as "cyclohexane 999." The material shall conform to the required purity, benzene content, n-hexane content, methylcyclohexane content, methylcyclopentane content, sulfur content, appearance, color, and distillation range.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers a grade of cyclohexane identified as “cyclohexane 999.”  
1.2 The following applies to all specified limits in this standard: for purposes of determining conformance with this standard, an observed value or a calculated value shall be rounded off “to the nearest unit” in the last right-hand digit used in expressing the specification limit, in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29.  
1.3 Consult current OSHA regulations, supplier’s Safety Data Sheets, and local regulations for all materials used in this specification.
