1.1These test methods cover the determination of chloride ion in water, wastewater (Test Method C only), and brines. The following three test methods are included:
Sections
Test Method A (Mercurimetric Titration) 7 to14 Test Method B (Silver Nitrate Titration) 15 to 21 Test Method C (Ion-Selective Electrode Method) 22 to 29
1.2Test Methods A, B, and C were validated under Practice D2777 - 77, and only Test Method B conforms also to Practice D2777 - 86. Refer to Sections 14, 21, and 29 for further information.
1.3The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4This 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. For a specific hazard statement, see 26.1.1.
1.5A former colorimetric test method was discontinued. Refer to Appendix X1 for historical information.
1.6This 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.
