Historical Standard: ASTM D464-95(1999) Standard Test Methods for Saponification Number of Naval Store Products Including Tall Oil and Other Related Products
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D464
1. Scope
1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the saponification number of tall oil and products obtained by the fractionation of tall oil such as rosin, fatty acids and distilled tall oil as defined in Terminology D804. These test methods are also applicable to gum and wood rosin. Two test methods are covered as follows:
1.1.1 Test method using a potentiometric method, and
1.1.2 Test method using an internal indicator method.
1.2 The potentiometric method is suitable for use with both light- and dark-colored test samples. It should be considered the referee method. The internal indicator method is suitable for use only with light- and medium-colored test samples. It should be considered the alternate method.
1.3 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.
