SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D3893
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the purity of methyl amyl ketone and methyl isoamyl ketone. In addition, the method determines total ketones and various impurities which may include acetone, isopropyl alcohol, methyl propyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl butyl ketone, methyl isobutyl carbinol, mesityl oxide, methyl isoamyl ketone, methyl butyl carbinol, methyl amyl ketone, and diisobutyl ketone.
1.2 Water and acid cannot be determined by this test method and must be measured by other appropriate ASTM procedures and the results used to normalize the chromatographic data.
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.
1.4 For hazard information and guidance, see the supplier's Material Safety Data Sheet.
