      D5808

      Chlorine in Aromatics

      Scope

      1.1 This test method covers the organic chlorides in aromatic hydrocarbons, their derivatives, and related chemicals.

      1.2 This test method is applicable to samples with chloride concentrations from 1 to 25 mg/kg.

      1.3 This test method is preferred over Test Method D5194 for products, such as styrene, that are polymerized by the sodium biphenyl reagent.

      1.4 In determining the conformance of the test results using this method to applicable specifications, results shall be rounded off in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29.

      1.5 Organic chloride values of samples containing inorganic chlorides will be biased high due to partial recovery of inorganic species during combustion. Interference from inorganic species can be reduced by water washing the sample before analysis. This does not apply to water soluble samples.

      1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

      1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazard statements, see 7.3 and Section 9.
