7、de range of industrial users. This British Standard supersedes BS 1941:1968 which is withdrawn. In this revision of BS 1941 the requirements for water content and alcoholic impurities have been made more stringent and the requirement for relative density has been replaced by one for density at 20 C.
8、 This British Standard is related to ISO 2499:1974 but is not equivalent in technical content. ISO 2499 is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and lists various general test methods and test methods specifically for 4-methylpentan-2-one. Several of the methods liste
9、d in ISO 2499 correspond to those which are referred to in this British Standard. ISO 2499 however does not specify limits for any of the properties of 4-methylpentan-2-one. Annex B of this British Standard is related to ISO 2887:1973, published by ISO, but is not equivalent in technical content. Th
10、e main differences are that in the method described in ISO 2887 the test portion is diluted with either ethanol or propan-2-ol and carbon dioxide is removed by passing a stream of nitrogen through the solution. Annex C of this British Standard is related to ISO 2501:1974, published by ISO, but is no
11、t equivalent in technical content. The main differences are that in the method described in ISO 2501 phenolphthalein is used as the indicator and the calculation of results includes a correction for the acidity of the sample. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provision
12、s of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

25、 described in BS 4591:1990, using the following thermometer, distillation conditions and temperature corrections. a) Thermometer (see 5.1.2 of BS 4591:1990). Use a thermometer designated F150C/100 conforming to BS 593:1989. b) Distillation (see 7.2 of BS 4591:1990). Regulate the rate of heating so t

If the corrected barometric pressure deviates from1013mbar apply corrections to the observed temperatures by subtracting 0.03
27、4 C for every millibar above 1013 mbar, or adding0.034 C for every millibar below1013mbar. NOTEThese corrections are valid only for pressures above933 mbar. Annex B (normative) Determination of acidity B.1 Principle A test portion is diluted with carbon dioxide-free water and titrated with standard
