ASTM D6472-03
(Specification)Standard Specification for Recycled Glycol Base Engine Coolant Concentrate for Automobile and Light-Duty Service
Standard Specification for Recycled Glycol Base Engine Coolant Concentrate for Automobile and Light-Duty Service
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the requirements for recycled ethylene glycol base engine coolant concentrate and recycled propylene glycol base engine coolant concentrate for use in automobiles and light-duty vehicles. This specification provides a procedure for evaluating engine coolant recycling technologies through the recycling of a reference synthetic used engine coolant. It also specifies the chemical, physical, and performance requirements for the recycled glycol base engine coolant concentrate that is produced from that procedure. When used at 40 to 70 volume % in water, it will function effectively during both winter and summer. This material is intended to provide protection against freezing, boiling, and corrosion in automobile or other light-duty service cooling systems.Note 1
Committee D-15 has developed this specification using experience, knowledge, and research from the recycling of used aqueous base engine coolants and has not substantially studied the effects of recycling glycols from other sources or with excessive contaminant levels. Efforts are being made to produce a redistilled glycol specification that addresses recycling used aqueous glycol base engine coolants and glycols from other sources.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are approximate equivalents and provided for information only.
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.
