Test Method for Distillation Range of Volatile Organic Liquids

1 This test method provides a method of measurement of distillation range of volatile organic liquids. The relative volatility of organic liquids can be used with other tests for identification and measurement of quality. Therefore, this test method provides a test procedure for assessing compliance with a specification. [Pg.193]

2 This test method also provides an empirical value of residue, solvent recovery capacity, and loss or non-recovery) on heating. Organic liquids are used as solvents in many chemical processes. As the relative volatility, residual matter and recovery capability affect the efficiency of these processes, this test method is useful in manufacturing control. [Pg.193]

2 Distillation Flasks, 200-mL of borosilicate glass complying with the specifications given in Distillation Flask section. Fig. 3, and Flask C of Specification E 133. [Pg.193]

Note 1—Liquid supertieatiiig in a new flask may be prevented by depositing a smtdl amount of carbon in the bottom of the flask. This may be accomplished by heating and decomposing a pinch of tartaric acid in the bo m of tte flask. The flask is then prepared for use by washing with water, rinsing with acetone, and drying.
