ASTM D5368-93(2006)
Historical Standard: ASTM D5368-93(2006) Standard Test Methods for Gravimetric Determination of Total Solvent Extractable Content (TSEC) of Solid Waste Samples
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D5368
1. Scope
1.1 These test methods describe standard procedures for gravimetrically determining the total nonvolatile and semi-volatile organic content of solvent extracts from soils or solid wastes. The following methods are included:
| Section | |
| Method A-Micro-Determination of TSEC | |
| Method B-Evaporating Dish Procedure | |
| Method C-Boiling Flask Procedure |
1.2 These methods are used after a solvent extract is obtained from a soil or solid waste. For these methods to be applicable, the extraction solvent must have a boiling point less than that of water at ambient pressure.
1.3 The total solvent extractable content (TSEC) of a soil, sediment, sludge, or solid waste depends upon the solvent and method used for the extraction procedure.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
