ASTM D2331-08
Historical Standard: ASTM D2331-08 Standard Practices for Preparation and Preliminary Testing of Water-Formed Deposits
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D2331
1. Scope
1.1 These practices provide directions for the preparation of the sample for analysis, the preliminary examination of the sample, and methods for dissolving the analytical sample or selectively separating constituents of concern.
1.2 The general practices given here can be applied to analysis of samples from a variety of surfaces that are subject to water-formed deposits. However, the investigator must resort to individual experience and judgement in applying these procedures to specific problems.
1.3 The practices include the following:
Sections | |
Preparation of the Analytical Sample | 8 |
Preliminary Testing of the Analytical Sample | 9 |
Dissolving the Analytical Sample | 10 |
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For a specific warning statement, see Note 2.
