8、 Test Method4.1 This test method is used to determine the acid and estercontent of glycols by titration.The sample is titrated to thephenolphthalein end point with 0.02 N NaOH to determine theacidity.Then a known amount of base is added and the sampleis heated at 100 C to hydrolyze the esters.It is
9、then back-titrated with 0.02 N sulfuric acid to determine the ester content.5.Significance and Use5.1 The presence of acids or glycol esters in the glycol usedto produce engine coolant is undesirable.Under conditions inan engine cooling system,the esters can hydrolyze to formglycol and an acid.The a
10、cid will react with the corrosioninhibitors,thereby reducing the useful life of the coolant.Thismethod can determine the amount of acid and glycol esterpresent in the glycol.6.Interferences6.1 This test method is based on a color change titration.Glycol with a strong color could interfere with the r
