Summary of Test Method3.1 In an acid medium, MBTS is reduced wi
7、th KI to MBTand free iodine. The free iodine is titrated with standard sodiumthiosulfate solution.3.2 MBTS is sparingly soluble in any organic solvent; whileMBT, formed during the reaction of MBTS with KI is verysoluble. Therefore after reagents are added as indicated in theprocedure, continue to st

The amount of MBTS is of importance inpredicting performance in rubber compounds and for rawmaterial purchase and control.4.2

26、ram (ITP) wasconducted in 1997 on a sample of IRM-MBTS. Six laborato-ries participated in the ITP conducting duplicate tests on eachof 2 successive test days. A test result for the assay is the valueobtained from one analysis operation. The database generatedby this ITP was divided into two parts; P
27、art 1 used the first ofthe duplicates on each day and Part 2 used the second of theduplicates. A complete statistical analysis according to D4483was conducted for each part. The analysis results of each partwhere then combined (averaged) for the final values as given inthis section. Thus the precisi

Reference values do not exist for this testmethod since the value (o
