3、one-air mixtures used for ozonecrack testing of rubber.These include wet chemical procedures,electrochemical cells,UV absorption,and chemiluminescence with ethylene.See Refs(1-4).2Wet chemical methods(the absorption of ozone in a potassium iodide solution and titration of theiodine released with sod
4、ium thiosulfate)have been in traditional use in the rubber industry,but theyare not suitable for continuous operation,and in recent years they have been shown to be sensitive tosmall variations in test procedures and concentration and purity of reagents.Interlaboratory tests haveindicated that diffe
5、rent procedures do not give equivalent results,and most of them differ from anabsolute UV method.Frequently,wet chemical methods yield higher ozone concentrations due to theoxidizing capacity of other components of the ozone-air mixture.Certain nonreference instrumental methods are amenable to autom
