ASTM E 2679:2022

1.1 This test method covers the determination of total acidity as acetic acid in commonly available grades of monoethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol and tetraethylene glycol using a non-aqueous potentiometric titration. This test method is useful for determining low levels of acidity, below 200 mg/kg. 1.2 The mono-, di-, tri- and tetraethylene glycols can be analyzed directly by this test method without any sample preparation. 1.3 Review the current appropriate Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for detailed information concerning toxicity, first aid procedures, and safety precautions. 1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.5 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific hazards statements are given in the section on Hazards, Section 9 . 1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
