Historical Standard: ASTM D1631-99 Standard Test Method for Water in Phenol and Related Materials by the Iodine Reagent Method
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D1631
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of water in phenol and related materials such as cresols, xylenols, naphthalene, pyridine, and quinoline.
1.2 If ketones are present in the sample, interference from them can be avoided by employing the glycol-pyridine sample solvent specified in Test Method D1364.
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 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. For specific hazard statements, see Section 7.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
