Standard Test Method for Trace Chloride in Liquid Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Standard Details

1.1 This test method covers the determination of total chloride (organic and inorganic) in liquid aromatic hydrocarbons and cyclohexane.

1.2 The test method is applicable to samples with chloride concentrations of 1 to 25 mg/kg.

1.3 Bromides and iodides, if present, will be calculated as chlorides.

1.4 Materials, such as styrene, that are polymerized by sodium biphenyl reagent cannot be analyzed by this test method.

1.5 The following applies to all specified limits in this test method: for purposes of determining conformance with this test method, 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 E 29.

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