ASTM D3622-11

Standard Specification for 1-Propanol (<i>n</i>-Propyl Alcohol)

ABSTRACT
This specification covers n-propyl alcohol (1-propanol) volatile solvents for use in paints, varnishes, lacquers, and related products. The solvents should conform to the specified requirements for apparent specific gravity, color, distillation range, nonvolatile matter content, odor, water content, and acidity.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers n-propyl alcohol (1-propanol) for use in paint, varnish, lacquer and related products.  
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 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 E29.
1.4 For specific hazard information and guidance, see the supplier's Material Safety Data Sheets for materials listed in this specification.
