8、e of Clear,TransparentLiquids(Visual Inspection Procedure)3.Significance and Use3.1 The methanol wall wash test is performed to determinethe cleanliness and suitability of cargo tanks or compartmentson a marine vessel prior to loading polyester grade monoeth-ylene glycol.Polyester grade monoethylene
9、 glycol has veryhigh quality requirements and must be handled with care,as itis adversely affected by oxygen,hydrocarbons,water andchloride.It is especially susceptible to aromatic contamination,which degrades UV transmittance.Possible sources of con-tamination are the prior cargoes and cleaning age
10、nts.Themethanol wall wash procedure provides a representative sam-pling of the impurities and contamination present on the sidesof the cargo tank.3.2 The test methods used for analysis of the methanol wallwash samples are capable of determining low levels ofimpurities or contamination in methanol.Th
11、ese tests includeappearance,color,hydrocarbons and chloride.The producersof polyester grade monoethylene glycol need confirmation ofthe cleanliness and suitability of the marine vessels tanks priorto loading with in-specification material.Cargo tanks that donot pass the wall wash test should not be

13、uldassure themselves that the method is sufficiently precise.Precision data is only for the original test methods listed.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D16 onAromatic Hydrocarbons and Related Chemicals and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D16.16 on Industria
