(Test Method)Test Method for the Compatibility of Mechanical Pump Dispenser Components
Test Method for the Compatibility of Mechanical Pump Dispenser Components
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This test method identifies the compatibility of the mechanical pump dispenser components with consumer-type products.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers testing of the components of mechanical pump dispensers (spray or flow types) for compatibility with products.
1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.3 This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. 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 consult and establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
