Standard Test Methods for Sampling and Testing Dipentene
SCOPE
1.1 These test methods cover procedures for sampling and testing dipentene and related terpene solvents, consisting chiefly of monocyclic terpene hydrocarbons distilling above the range for turpentine.
1.2 The procedures given in these test methods appear in the following order: Section Sampling 4 Detection and Removal of Separated Water 5 Appearance 6 Color 7 Odor 8 Specific Gravity 9 Refractive Index 10 Distillation 11 Flash Point 12 Dissolved Water 13 Aniline Point and Mixed Aniline Point 14
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, 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.>
