(Specification)Standard Specification for Vinyl Acetate
Standard Specification for Vinyl Acetate
ABSTRACT
This specification covers vinyl acetate. The vinyl acetate shall conform to the requirements specified for: (1) distillation range, (2) apparent specific gravity, (3) Pt-Co scale color (for HQ grade only), (4) water content, (5) acetaldehyde content, (6) acidity (weight percentage of acetic acid), and (7) inhibitor content. The sampling and test methods to determine conformance to the specified properties are given.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers vinyl acetate.
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 E 29.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4 For specific hazard information and guidance, see the supplier's Material Safety Data Sheet for materials listed in this specification.
