ASTM D1152-06

Standard Specification for Methanol (Methyl Alcohol)

ABSTRACT
This specification covers methanol (99.85 % grade). The non-volatile matter, odor property, and color property shall be tested to meet the requirements prescribed.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers methanol (99.85 % grade).
1.2 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 E 29.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4 For specific hazard information and guidance, see the supplier's Material Safety Data Sheet for materials listed 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.
