(Specification)Standard Specification for Cumene (Isopropylbenzene)
Standard Specification for Cumene (Isopropylbenzene)
ABSTRACT
This specification covers cumene (isopropylbenzene). Tests shall be performed to determine the requirements of cumene in accordance to the following test methods: purity; alpha-methylstrene, benzene, butylbenzenes, diisopropylbenzenes, ethylbenzene, phenols, n-propylbenzene, sulfur, bromine index, and appearance.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers cumene (isopropylbenzene).
1.2 The following applies to all specified limits in this specification: for purposes of determining conformance with this specification, 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.
1.3 Units—The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4 Consult current OSHA Regulations and Supplier’s Safety Data Sheets, and local regulations for all materials used in this specification.
