ASTM D3634 : 99e1

Standard Test Method for Trace Chloride Ion in Engine Coolants

Standard Details

1.1 This test method covers the determination of chloride ion in engine coolants in the range of 5 to 200 ppm in the presence of up to 0.6 weight % mercaptobenzothiazole.

1.2 Other materials that react with silver ion will interfere.

1.3 Chloride in engine coolants containing an aryltriazole instead of mercaptobenzothiazole can be determined directly by this test method without pretreatment with hydrogen peroxide.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, 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. Specific hazards statements are given in Section 7.
