Avoid any skin contact.Clothing contaminated with methanol should be removedimmediately. Any body exposure to methanol requires imme-diate medical attention.5.2 Metha

17、nol is flammable and its vapor is explosive in therange from 6.0 to 36.5 volume % in air. Any spills should beflushed away promptly with water.6. Sampling6.1 Sampling is not within the scope of these test methods.It should be understood, however, that reference to a “sample”means a representative po

18、rtion of methanol contained in asingle container submitted for test. The sample submittedshould be sufficient to make all tests without reuse of anyfraction. For details of sampling methanol, refer to PracticeE 300.ACIDITY7. Procedure7.1 Determine the acidity of the methanol as acetic acidusing the

19、titration method as described in Test Method D 1613.8. Report8.1 For concentrations of acetic acid at the 0.0010 % level,report the results to the nearest 0.0001 weight %. For concen-trations at the 0.010 % level, report the results to the nearest0.001 weight %.9. Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionThe

20、following criteria should be used forjudging the acceptability of results (Note 1):9.1.1 Repeatability (Single Analyst)The standard devia-tion for a single determination has been estimated to be theabsolute percentage value in Table 1 at the indicated degrees offreedom (df). The 95 % limit for the d

23、ries, has been estimated to be theabsolute percentage value in Table 1 at the indicated degrees offreedom. The 95 % limit for the difference between two suchaverages is the absolute percentage value in the table.NOTE 1The above precision estimates are based on an interlaboratorystudy performed on tw

24、o samples of methanol containing approximately0.0010 and 0.01 % acetic acid. A total of nine laboratories cooperated inthe studies in which duplicate determinations were performed on each oftwo days. Practice E 180 was used in developing these precision esti-mates.9.2 BiasThe bias of this test metho

25、d has not been deter-mined due to the unavailability of suitable reference materials.CARBONIZABLES10. Scope10.1 This test method describes a procedure for detectingthe presence of impurities in methanol that carbonize or darkenin the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid. The test methodis applicab

26、le to methanol having a carbonizables content in therange from 0 to 70 on the platinum-cobalt scale (see TestMethod D 1209).11. Summary of Test Method11.1 Methanol is mixed with a known volume of concen-trated sulfuric acid under controlled conditions. The colorformed by the action of the acid on th

27、e carbonizable impuritiesin the methanol is estimated by comparison of the test mixturewith platinum-cobalt color standards.12. Significance and Use12.1 Because this test is designed to measure low concen-trations of impurities that carbonize or darken in the presenceof concentrated sulfuric acid, e

28、rroneously high results may beobtained if all glassware is not cleaned as described in theprocedure.13. Apparatus13.1 Erlenmeyer Flask, 125-mL borosilicate glass.13.2 Nessler Tubes, 50-mL high form, matched.13.3 Ring Stand.13.4 Buret, 25-mL, with TFE-fluorocarbon stopcock.NOTE 2A 25-mL automatic bur

(WarningDo not use acetoneto dry apparatus.)16.2 Transfer 50 mL of the proper platinum-cobalt colorstandard into one of the matched 50-mL Nessler

34、tubes.16.3 Pipet 30 mL of the sample into a 125-mL Erlenmeyerflask.16.4 Add, at a uniform rate, 25 mL of H2SO4to the samplewhile stirring constantly using an electric stirrer and stirringbar. The total time of the acid addition shall be 5 min 6 30 s.(WarningDo not cool the mixture.)16.5 Allow the mi

35、xture to stand for 15 min 6 30 s at roomtemperature, pour the mixture from the flask into a 50-mLNessler tube and compare the color of the sample to the properplatinum-cobalt standard by looking down through the longi-tudinal axis of the tubes upon a white or mirrored surface atsuch an angle that li

Procedure22.1 Determine the distillation range of the methanol asdescribed in Test Method D 1078. ASTM Solvents DistillationThermometer 39C (rang

49、e 48 to 102C with 0.2 subdivisions)should be used.22.2 Use a K value of 0.033 for calculating the barometriccorrection to be applied to each corrected thermometer readingfor the following volumes of distillate: 1st drop, 5, 50, 95 mLand dry point. The dry point is defined as the temperature at theinstant the last drop of methanol evaporates from the lowestpoint in the distillation flask disregarding any liquid clinging tothe side of the flask. If the boiling range does not exceed 2C,a simpler correction is permissible, such as by filling thecondenser ba
