1.1These test methods cover only the analyses usually required on the following commercial products:
1.1.1Caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), 50 and 73 % liquors; anhydrous (solid, flake, ground, or powdered), and
1.1.2Caustic potash (potassium hydroxide), 45 % liquor; anhydrous (solid, flake, ground, or powdered).
1.2The analytical procedures appear in the following order:
| Alkalinity (Total), Titrimetric (for 50 to 100 % | 3 to 4 |
| Carbonate, Gas-Volumetric (0.001 g CO2, min) | 4 to 7 |
| Carbonate, Gravimetric (0.001 g CO2, min) | 7 to 10 |
| Chloride, Titrimetric, (0.001 g Cl−, min) | 10 to 11 |
| Chloride, Potentiometric Titration (0.3 to 1.2 %) | 11 to 12 |
| Chloride, Ion Selective Electrode (0.6 to 120 μg/g) | 12 to 13 |
| Iron, Photometric (0.005 mg Fe, min) | 13 to 15 |
| Sulfate, Gravimetric, (0.002 g SO3, min) | 15 to 16 |

1.3Units—The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard with the exception of inch-pound units for apparatus descriptions.
1.4In 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.
1.5Review the current Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed information concerning toxicity, first-aid procedures, handling, and safety precautions.
1.6This 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 hazard statements are given in Section 6.
1.7This 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.
