(Specification)Standard Specification for Isobutyl Acetate (95 % Grade)
Standard Specification for Isobutyl Acetate (95 % Grade)
ABSTRACT
This specification details the properties and requirements for isobutyl acetate. The specimens shall be sampled, go through chemical tests and conform accordingly to specified values of the following requirements: apparent specific gravity; color (Pt-Co units) distillation (initial boiling point and dry point); nonvolatile matter content; water content; acidity (free acid as acetic acid); and purity.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers isobutyl acetate (95 % grade).
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 E29.
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 Safety Data Sheet for material listed in this specification.
1.5 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.
