Standard Specification for Polyester Grade Ethylene Glycol

ABSTRACT
This specification covers polyester grade ethylene glycol. Sampled specimens shall undergo tests, for which the following chemical and physical requirements should be met: acidity (as acetic acid); aldehydes (acetaldehyde) content; appearance; chloride content; color (Pt-Co scale); glycols (as ethylene and diethylene glycol) content; iron content; ultraviolet transmittance; water content; ash content; distillation range (initial boiling point and dry point); relative density; and water miscibility.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers polyester grade ethylene glycol.  
1.2 Review the current Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for detailed information concerning toxicity, first aid procedures, handling and safety precautions.  
1.3 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.  
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.  
1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 5, described in this specification: 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.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
