Standard Test Method for Determination of Acids and Glycol Esters in Ethylene Glycol

Standard Details

1.1 This test method covers the determination of free acids and glycol esters in ethylene glycol by titration.

1.2 Laboratory testing has proved that the test method can also be used on propylene glycol and 1,3-propanediol.

1.3 This test method is typically used on glycols used for the manufacture of engine coolant. It cannot be used on formulated engine coolant. The inhibitors will interfere with the determination.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.5 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International StandardDetails, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
