(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Acidity-Alkalinity of Halogenated Organic Solvents and Their Admixtures
Standard Test Method for Acidity-Alkalinity of Halogenated Organic Solvents and<brk /> Their Admixtures
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This test method can be used to establish manufacturing and purchasing specifications. It can also be used to determine the condition of solvents in use.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of acidity in halogenated organic solvents and admixtures thereof. The alkalinity may be determined utilizing Test Methods D2106, by substituting the end point measured at pH 7 by bromothymol blue or pH meter.
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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific precautionary statements are given in Section 7.
1.4 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.
