ASTM D1901-10(2020)
(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Relative Evaporation Time of Halogenated Organic Solvents and Their Admixtures
Standard Test Method for Relative Evaporation Time of Halogenated Organic Solvents and Their Admixtures
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 This test method gives valid comparisons of the evaporation rates of the subject materials. These comparisons are required for the determination of the suitability of a proposed material for specific cleaning applications.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the relative evaporation time of halogenated organic solvents and their admixtures. This test method is not applicable in the presence of excessive drafts or high-velocity air currents.
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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
