ASTM D3741-00(2015)e1

Standard Test Methods for Appearance of Admixtures Containing Halogenated Organic Solvents

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
2.1 These test methods are useful for determining the appearance of halogenated hydrocarbons and their admixtures.
SCOPE
1.1 These test methods cover the visual determination of the physical appearance of admixtures containing halogenated hydrocarbons. These test methods are qualitative test methods.  
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.

mark is 275 to 295 mm above the bottom of the tube with ground glass cap.
