# ASTM D1619

Standard Test Methods for Carbon Black—Sulfur Content

[Back to all techniques](/analytical-techniques/)

## Significance and Use

3.1 The total sulfur content of a carbon black is useful in determining whether a material meets a customer’s specifications, providing data for performing a sulfur material balance around a process for environmental monitoring and reporting, and in calculations for reconstructing a rubber composition from analytical data.

## Scope

1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the sulfur content of carbon black. The following test methods are included:

Sections

Test Method A

High-Temperature Combustion With In-

frared Absorption Detection Procedures

6 to 13

Test Method B

X-Ray Fluorescence

14 to 19

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
