Test procedure:
Total Alkalinity- Titration with standard hydrochloric (or sulfuric) acid using methyl orange or modified methyl orange indicator solution.
Sodium Bicarbonate- The bicarbonate is converted to carbonate by adding sample to excess standard sodium hydroxide solution. Barium chloride solutions are used to precipitate the carbonate. Standard acid solution back-titrates the excess sodium hydroxide using pH meter to determine the end point.
Loss of Heating- Loss on heating is determined gravimetrically by heating a weighed sample under controlled conditions to expel moisture and thermally convert sodium bicarbonate to sodium carbonate by elimination of water and carbon dioxide.
Moisture- it is determined by calculation.
Sodium Chloride- A sample is dissolved, acidified, and treated with a small excess of standard silver nitrate solution. The precipitated silver chloride is removed by filtration and the excess silver nitrate is titrated with standard ammonium thiocyanate
solution using ferric ammonium sulfate indicator solution. This is the Volhard method.
Sodium Sulfate- Sulfate is determined gravimetrically by precipitation with barium chloride solution, filtering, washing, igniting, and weighing as barium sulfate.
Iron- Iron is determined photometrically as the orange-red complex of the ferrous form with 1,10-phenanthroline in an acetate-buffered solution at pH 5. The colour develops within 15 min. Intensity of the colour formed is measured at 510 nm in a photometer calibrated with standard iron solutions.
Sieve Analysis- The material is passed through a series of sieves arranged in order of increasing fineness and calculating the cumulative percentage of each screen fraction.
Specimen size: The size of the sample shall be sufficient to perform all analyses without the reuse of any portion of the sample.
Data:
The percent loss in weight is calculated as follows,
A = mass of bottle and sample before heating, B = mass of bottle and sample after heating, and W = sample used
Percent moisture is given as,
A = loss on heating %, and B = sodium bicarbonate %
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
