ASTM D4903-99(2016)

Standard Test Method for Total Solids and Water in Vegetable Tanning Material Extracts

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This test method is useful in determining the total solids and water in analytical solutions.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method is intended for use in determining the total solids and water in extracts of vegetable tanning materials. The test method is applicable to solutions of liquid, solid, pasty, and powdered extracts, and to extracts of raw or spent materials.  
1.2 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.
