STM D6174 Inorganic Sulfate in Surfactants by Potentiometric Lead Titration
The ASTM D6174 test technique is a standard test method for potentiometric lead titration to determine inorganic sulfate in surfactants. The purity of an anionic surfactant under test can be estimated using the sulfate content as assessed by this test procedure.
Scope:
The ASTM D6174 test method explains how to determine the inorganic sulfate content of surfactants using a potentiometric titration process. It’s for analyzing α-olefin sulfonates, alkane sulfonates, alcohol sulfate, alcohol ether sulfate, alkylbenzene sulfonates, and other similar compounds. Anionic surfactants, including some mentioned, are widely employed in detergent compositions, and their suitability for use is determined by their purity.
Test procedure:
A surfactant sample containing inorganic sulfate is titrated in an ethanolic medium with a standard lead solution in accordance with ASTM D6174. During the titration, a precipitate of lead sulfate is generated. The presence of ethanol and sodium perchlorate reduces the solubility of lead sulfate, intensifying the endpoint. To eliminate the possibility of carbonate interference, acetic acid is used. An increase in lead ion activity, as measured by a lead-selective electrode, signals the endpoint.

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.
