(Specification)Standard Specification for Methyl Isoamyl Ketone
Standard Specification for Methyl Isoamyl Ketone
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the properties and requirements for 98 % grade methyl isoamyl ketone for use in paint, varnish, lacquer, and related products. The material shall be sampled and tested appropriately, and shall conform to properties as to apparent specific gravity, color (Pt-Co scale), distillation (initial boiling and dry points), water content, acidity as acetic acid, and purity.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers methyl isoamyl ketone (98 % grade) for use in paint, varnish, lacquer, and related products.
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 E29.
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.
1.5 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.
