ASTM D3644-06(2012)
(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Acid Number of Styrene-Maleic Anhydride Resins
Standard Test Method for Acid Number of Styrene-Maleic Anhydride Resins
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This test method is used to determine the property of styrene-maleic anhydride resins functionality. Acid functionality determines the utility of resin as well as being a significant quality control test.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the free acidity present in styrene-maleic anhydride resins.
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.
