Standard Test Method for Solubility of Fixed Gases in Liquids

SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the solubility of fixed gases in liquids. It is suitable for gases and liquids that do not react with each other and are compatible with borosilicate glass, mercury, stainless steel, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), and FPM (vinylidene fluoridehexafluoro propylene copolymer) under the conditions of the test. This test method also covers the determination of the concentration of fixed gases in solutions which are not saturated with the gas.  
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, 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. For specific hazard statements see Notes 3, 4, 5, 7, and 12.  
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are for information only.
