1、Designation:D437001(Reapproved 2017)Standard Test Methods forAcid and Base Milliequivalent Content of Electrocoat Bath1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4370;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year
2、 of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 These test methods cover the determination of acid andbase milliequivalent contents of anodic and cathodic electro-coat
3、 baths and their ultrafiltrates.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of thi
4、s standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decisi
