ASTM D1317 – Standard Test Method for Chlorine in New and Used Lubricants (Sodium Alcoholate Method)
Description:
Scope:
1.1 This test method covers determination of the chlorine content at levels of 0.1 mass % and higher in lubricating oils and greases with which chlorinated additives have been blended. It is equally applicable to new or used oils and greases and to the additive concentrate. The procedure assumes that compounds containing halogens other than chlorine will not be present.
NOTE 1–A method based on bomb combustion for analysis of the same type of material is described in Test Method D 808.
1.2 The values given in acceptable SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
1.3 This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems 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. Specific precautionary statements appear in Notes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
