1、Designation: D 4653 87 (Reapproved 2009)Standard Test Method forTotal Chlorides in Leather1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4653; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A num
2、ber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method is intended for use in determining total
3、chlorides in mineral tanned leather.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the use
4、r of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Transfer the specimen to a 250 mL volumetricflask and add 200 mL of 0.1 N ammonium hydroxide solution.Immerse the flask up to the neck in a bath of boiling water.Thoroughly wet all particles by occasional swirling. After 2 h,cool the flask to room temperature and make the fla
