ASTM D3443-00(2015)

Standard Test Method for Chloride in Trichlorotrifluoroethane

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
3.1 This test method determines ionizable chloride that can be aqueously extracted from trichlorotrifluoroethane.  
3.2 This test method can be used to establish production and purchasing specifications.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of chloride in trichlorotrifluoroethane and other halocarbons that are liquid at room temperature.  
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.

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.
