ASTM D5523: Packaging Concentrated Horizontal Impact Testing Services
The ASTM D5523-21 test method determines how carbonyl chloride and dissolved phosgene serve as the main source of hydrolyzable chlorine in the Isocyanates. Toluene diisocyanate, monomeric methylene diphenyl isocyanate, or other Isocyanates with the same solubility are studied for their hydrolyzable chlorine. The final results of this method are expressed in SI units.

What Is ASTM D5523 Packaging Concentrated Horizontal Impact?
The ASTM D5523-21 standard test method determines the hydrolysable chlorine content present in aromatic isocyanates. This test describes how alcohol and water react with chlorine-containing substances to form hydrochloric acid, which is then quantified.
For quality control and research, ASTM D5523-21 is crucial, especially for toluene diisocyanates used in polyurethane systems. The test eliminates issues with low-level acidity assessment and yields accurate findings across a range of sample concentrations. The hydrolysable chlorine concentration directly impacts the performance and dependability of isocyanates in polyurethane formulations.
Applications and Benefits of ASTM D5523 Packaging Concentrated Horizontal Impact Testing

Our ASTM D5523 Testing Procedure
Sample Preparation & Alcohol Addition
The sample is placed in a beaker and mixed with 2-propanol and methanol.
1Acid Reaction & Hydrolysis
Nitric acid is added under cooling to initiate hydrolysis reactions.
2Potentiometric Titration
Chloride ions are titrated using methanolic silver nitrate solution.

ASTM D5523 Packaging Concentrated Horizontal Impact FAQs
ASTM D6344 evaluates the ability of a complete, filled transport package to resist concentrated low-level impacts that can occur during transportation, handling, sorting, and loading or unloading.
The method is particularly applicable to thin-fluted or lightweight corrugated boxes and stretch-wrapped packaging. The package is tested in its complete, filled configuration to assess both package durability and protection of its contents.
The test represents concentrated impacts that may occur when packages bump against adjacent freight, contact other packages during conveyor or chute sorting, or experience accidental impacts during handling.
ASTM D6344 provides a pass/fail determination based on predefined acceptance criteria, along with a record of the energy dissipated by the complete package during the specified impact.
Testing helps determine whether a package can withstand localized impact forces while adequately protecting its contents. It can also identify whether sufficient clearance, cushioning, or structural support exists between the package wall and the packaged product.
