1、Designation: D 2380 04Standard Test Method forMethanol Content of Formaldehyde Solutions1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2380; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A numbe
2、r in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method provides for the calculation of themethanol content of commercially available 37 % formalde-hyde solutions and is based o
3、n the relationship of specificgravity to formaldehyde and methanol content.2Separateequations are given for three ranges of methanol: 0 to 2 %, 6 to8 %, and 12 to 15 %.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 For
4、 purposes of determining conformance of an ob-served or a calculated value using this test method to relevantspecifications, test result(s) shall be rounded off “to the nearestunit” in the last right-hand digit used in expressing thespecification limit, in accordance with the rounding-off methodof P

Precision and Bias8.1 In an interlaboratory study of this test method, thewithin-laboratory standard deviation was found to be 0.10 %absolute with 28 degrees of freedom and the between-laboratories stand
16、ard deviation 0.16 % absolute with 12 de-grees of freedom based on these standard deviations, thefollowing criteria should be used for judging the acceptabilityof results at the 95 % confidence level:8.1.1 RepeatabilityTwo results, each the mean of dupli-cates, obtained by the same analyst on differ
17、ent days should beconsidered suspect if they differ by more than 0.3 % absolute.8.1.2 Reproducibility Two results, each the mean ofduplicates, obtained by analysts in different laboratories,should be considered suspect if they differ by more than 0.5 %absolute.NOTE 2The above precision estimates are
18、 based on two interlabora-tory studies involving five and nine laboratories respectively, using twodifferent samples in each case, with a single analyst performing duplicateruns on each of two days. The methanol levels studied were 1.5, 6.5, and14.3 %.8.2 BiasBias of this test method has not been de
