ASTM D 1555M:1993

1.1 The tables in this test method cover calculating the weight and volume of benzene, toluene, mixed xylenes, styrene, o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene, cumene, ethylbenzene, 148.9 to 176.7degree C (300 to 350degree F) aromatic hydrocarbons, 176.7 to 204.4degree C (350 to 400degree F) aromatic hydrocarbons, and cyclohexane. A procedure is given for calculating the volume at 15.0degree C from an observed volume at tdegree C. Table 1 lists the density in kilograms per litre at 15.0degree C for high purity chemicals. 1.2 A procedure for the calculation of density in kilograms per litre at 15.0degree C of materials of lower purity is provided. Note 1-The purchaser and the seller should agree on a reasonable policy in regard to rounding of final numbers in all computations. Rounding the final weight or volume to not more than five significant digits is, in most cases, consistent with the experimental reliability of the data. Note 2-An alternative test method is Test Method D4052. 1.3 This test method is the SI companion of Test Method D1555. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, 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.
