9、t pyridine.5.Significance and Use5.1 The pyridine base content of cresylic acids is importantin certain applications.This test method may be used as a toolfor quality control and specification purposes by producers andusers.6.Apparatus6.1 Titrimeter or pH meter,equipped with half cell orcombination
10、glass pH and Ag/AgCl reference electrodes.Thepair of electrodes shall be mounted to extend well below theliquid level.Storage in water between titrations is essentialbecause prolonged immersion in nonaqueous medium signifi-cantly deadens response.6.2 Buret,50-mL capacity.6.3 Magnetic Stirrer,with TF
11、E-fluorocarbon or glass cov-ered stirring bar.6.4 Autotitration Equipment may be used if available.7.Reagents1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D16 onAromatic Hydrocarbons and Related Chemicals and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D16.02 on Oxygenated Aromatics.
