1、Designation:D363499(Reapproved 2015)Standard Test Method forTrace Chloride Ion in Engine Coolants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3634;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A n
2、umber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of chlorideio
3、n in engine coolants in the range from 5 to 200 ppm in thepresence of up to 0.6 weight%mercaptobenzothiazole.1.2 Other materials that react with silver ion will interfere.1.3 Chloride in engine coolants containing an aryltriazoleinstead of mercaptobenzothiazole can be determined directlyby this test
4、 method without pretreatment with hydrogen per-oxide.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibili
5、ty of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.Specific hazardsstatements are given in Section 7.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D1176 Practice for Sampling and Preparing Aqueous

7、mmary of Test Method3.1 The sample is first treated at a pH of 12 to 13 withaqueous hydrogen peroxide to oxidize the mercaptobenzothi-azole to soluble,noninterfering sulfonate.The treated sample isdissolved in glacial acetic acid and titrated potentiometricallywith dilute standard silver nitrate sol
8、ution.Since the solubilityof silver chloride in this system is sufficient to preventobtaining a suitable inflection at the very low limit of the testmethod,some chloride is deliberately added to the glacialacetic acid solvent and then corrected for by a blank titration.4.Significance and Use4.1 This
9、 test method permits the determination of very lowlevels of chloride ion in engine coolants containing thecommon corrosion inhibitor,mercaptobenzothiazole,or relatedmercaptans,which would normally interfere with the titrationby also forming insoluble silver salts with silver nitrate.5.Apparatus5.1 M
10、anual Titrations:5.1.1 pH MeterAn expanded scale pH meter which can beread to 1 or 2 mV is desirable but not required.A silver billetindicator electrode4and glass reference electrode5are used forthe chloride titration.The silver electrode should be polishedoccasionally with fine steel wool or scouri
