2、heses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of the poly-mer content of AMS(-Methystyrene).Dimers and trimers arenot measured by these test methods.1.2 This
3、test method has been found applicable to determin-ing the polymer content of AMS in concentrations up to 15mg/kg with an LOQ of 0.6 mg/kg and an LOD of 0.2 mg/kg.Samples containing more than 15 mg/kg of polymer must besuitably diluted before measurement.1.3 In determining the conformance of the test

9、LSTYRENE VIASPECTROPHOTOMETER3.Summary of Test Method3.1 This test method utilizes the fact that AMS polymerspresent in the monomers are insoluble in methanol.Thepolymer content of AMS monomer is determined by measure-ment of the degree of turbidity produced by the addition of drymethanol to the AMS
10、 sample.4.Significance and Use4.1 This test method can be used for determining polymerconcentrations in AMS monomer.4.2 This test method will not detect dimers and trimers.4.3 This test method can be used for plant control and forspecification analysis.5.Interferences5.1 Small changes in turbidity m
