ASTM D516-22 PDF

Scope: 1.1 This turbidimetric test method covers the determination of sulfate in water in the range from 5 mg ⁄L to 40 mg/L of sulfate ion (SO4 −− ). 1.2 This test method was used successfully with drinking, ground, and surface waters. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the validity of this test method for waters of untested matrices. 1.3 Former gravimetric and volumetric test methods have been discontinued. Refer to Appendix X1 for historical information. 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
