Historical Standard: ASTM E2012-99 Standard Guide for Preparation of Binary Chemical Compatibility Chart
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM E2012
1. Scope
1.1 A binary chemical compatibility chart (also called inter-reactivity chart) compares the hazards associated with the mixing of two different materials. This guide provides an aid for the preparation of these charts. It reviews a number of issues that are critical in the preparation of such charts: accurate assessment of chemical compatibility, suitable experimental techniques for gathering compatibility information, incorporation of user-friendliness, and provision for revisions.
1.2 The uses of chemical compatibility charts are summarized in this standard.
1.3 This guide also reviews existing public domain compatibility charts, the differences therein, and their advantages and disadvantages.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
