ASTM D7318 : 07

Standard Test Method for Total Inorganic Sulfate in Ethanol by Potentiometric Titration

Standard Details

1.1 This test method covers a potentiometric titration procedure for determining the total inorganic sulfate content of hydrous, anhydrous ethanol, and anhydrous denatured ethanol, which is added as a blending agent with spark ignition fuels. It is intended for the analysis of denatured ethanol samples containing between 1.0-20 mg/kg total inorganic sulfate.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
